In the Week 9 edition of "Sunday Night Football," the Chicago Bears play host to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Bears are coming off one of the best wins any team has had this season, having gone into Seattle and won decisively against the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks. Chicago is 6-2 and has won three straight since quarterback Caleb Williams returned to the lineup after a hamstring injury, and is looking to keep the good times rolling here.
The Buccaneers are coming off back to back highly unusual victories where they have thrown a combined 14 passes, and last week they won without completing a single pass. The Bucs have leaned on their offensive line and their powerful run game, combined with a defense that is playing high-quality football over the last month. They'll look to make it three straight wins here.
Which of these teams will keep their winning streak alive? We'll find out soon enough. In the meantime, keep it locked to our live blog throughout the evening as we update you with stats, scores and highlights.
Caleb Williams has been excellent since his return from a hamstring injury. He's completed 73.8% of his passes at an average of 8.3 yards per attempt, with four touchdowns and no interceptions. He hasn't scrambled as much or as well as he did early in the season (11 carries for 22 yards), but the passing has been great.
Tampa has run the ball like crazy over the last two weeks, rushing for 258 yards against the Panthers in Week 7 and 322 against the Falcons in Week 8. Bucky Irving and Kenneth Gainwell have combined to carry the entire offense while Baker Mayfield has barely had to throw any passes - and didn't complete a single pass last week in the win over Atlanta.
