Buccaneers vs. Chicago Bears

LOSS - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 21 Chicago Bears 26

This wrapped up the 2015 season with three consecutive losses.

Having taken an eairly lead a combination of missed opportunities and turnovers combined with a defense unable to make a stop was unsettling for die hard Buccaneers Fans.

Jameis Winston's hail-mary pass touchdown to Austin-Seferian Jenkins is not enough as Tampa Bay fell to Chicago 26-21 in the Buccaneers' final home game of the season, and Lovie Smith went 0–2 against his former Bears team that fired him at the end of the 2012 season.
