Buccaneers vs. Chicago Bears 
LOSS - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 14 Chicago Bears 27
The defeat dropped the Buccaneers to 0-2 for the season.
With Testaverde sidelined due to a knee injury after six sacks, Chandler came off the bench and briefly rallyed the team as he rolled out passinga 25-yard touchdown pass pulling Tampa Bay within 21-20 with 2+ minutes remaining in regulation play.
Unfortunitly the Buccaneers continued with the inability to get the ball into the end-zone.
