Buccaneers vs. Chicago Bears 
LOSS - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10 Chicago Bears 13
The southern team again froze up in Chicago with the temputure under 40 degrees (about 16 with the windchill factored in).
Quarterback Shaun King threw two interceptions to Tony Parrish just before half-time proved decisive, as did a late one to Brian Urlacher that stopped the final Tampa Bay drive of the game(one returned for a touchdown), and gained only 91 yards of passing, as the Buccaneers fell to the division rival Bears.
