Tampa Bay Buccaneers clear favorites if Alshon Jeffery out?
This game might be the most meaningless as a win would put both teams farther back in the draft next year.

Dec 27, 2015; Tampa, FL, USA; Chicago Bears linebacker Lamarr Houston (99) pressures Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston (3) as he throws the ball int he end zone for a interception during the second half at Raymond James Stadium.
According to Chicago Bears’ coach John Fox, the team always remembers four words to uplift themselves.
“We feel it. Those guys feel it”, Fox said.
“Just getting some more dynamic playmakers back there”, Cutler said. The Bears have now lost three straight games, are banged up (they’ll be without top receiver Alshon Jeffery), and are a veteran-led team just looking to run out the clock on a disappointing season. “To get that turned around, that’s a huge break for us”. It also ensured the Bucs (6-9) will not finish with a winning record for the fifth straight season. They recovered two fumbles by the Buccaneers and got an interception by Harold Jones-Quartey after failing to force a turnover in two of the previous three games.
“I looked back at the ref. I mean, I don’t know how many times you’re going get hit to the head and (aren’t) going to get a call, but that’s how it is”, Winston said.
One example would be his tackle on Bucs back Doug Martin for a two-yard loss in the first quarter, when Martin tried to bounce outside. Quarterback Jay Cutler finished 26 of 37 passing for 231 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. To start out the day the Bears would be without to guys that play a lot of snaps.
“I thought we had a really good week of practice, but we have had other good weeks of practice and it didn’t convert to Sunday, so you never know”. Our football team has made progress this year. “Of course we’ve got to go get the one next week, but it’s just going to be something to build on – momentum – and just try for the best next year”. Some of the players on the current 53-man roster won’t be around next season, but what happens in Charlotte on Sunday could help the Bucs decide who sticks around in the long run. The fourth-year pro – and his offensive line – want that title of No. 1 rusher.
With the Bears leading 20-14 early in the fourth quarter, Cutler scrambled for 16 yards on third-and-seven, sustaining a drive that resulted in a Robbie Gould field goal.

NOTHING SPECIAL: Lovie Smith coached the Bears from 2004-2012, compiling an 81-63 record that makes him the third-winningest coach in franchise history behind Hall of Famers George Halas and Mike Ditka. In the interim, Smith and his team had an opportunity to review the tape from that game and gain a more detailed understanding of how the Bucs let another close game slip from their grasp. The Bucs forced zero turnovers.
