Teddy Bridgewater turned in another sharp December performance, and Blair Walsh made five field goals for the Vikings. The long bright spot was Jabaal Sheard’s strip sack that was recovered by Jamie Collins and returned for a touchdown.

Winston completed 15 of 29 passes for 295 yards with one costly interception – Jones-Quartey’s goal-line pick that prevented the Bucs from building on a one-point, third-quarter lead. He led the Bears to three division titles, two NFC championship games and one Super Bowl appearance.

Even with Adrian Peterson suffering an ankle injury last week, Chicago couldn’t slow down Teddy Bridgewater in a 38-17 thumping in Minnesota.

-Wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) did not play against the Bucs. They were already without rookie receiver Kevin White (left leg), tight end Martellus Bennett (fractured rib) and receiver Marquess Wilson (foot). The Bucs philosophy on offense is simple, establish the run and work play action passes off of it to stretch the field. They have one takeaway in the past five games.
