Buccaneers vs. Chicago Bears 
WON - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 29 Chicago Bears 07
Tampa Bay survived the devistation of Hurricane Irma, the storm caused the cancelation of the BUCS season opener against the Miami Dolphons, game rescheduled on the BYE week, Sunday, November 19, and the Buccaneers squared off in Raymond James against the Chicago Bears in it's first home opening victory in five years.
Buccaneers quarter back Jameis without any turnovers, set the stage for the 2017 season keeping the Bears on their claws and hitting recievers with precision passing, not all, but most.
