A Bears game! Not in primetime!
A month into the season and the Bears finally have their first noon start. The upstart (?!) Buccaneers are in town in a battle of division leaders that we all definitely saw coming when we first looked at the schedule.
As always, J.J. Stankevitz will be your eyes and ears from Arizona; give him a follow. Lorin Cox's tweets are also worth your time.

205 PM - TOUCHDOWN BEARS. That's 6. Six. SIX WHOLE TD THROWS FOR MITCH. BEARS 45, Bucs 3.

2nd QUARTER Bears 38, Bucs 3
115 PM - TOUCHDOWN BEARS. We have nothing to say about this. Just look at it in all its gorgeous form:
110 PM - TOUCHDOWN BEARS. Trubisky carves up Tampa again and finds Josh Bellamy for a TD. BEARS 28, Bucs 3.
1 PM - That’s a 4th straight game with a sack and a forced fumble for Khalil Mack. The last player to pull that off? Robert Mathis in 2005 1250 PM - TOUCHDOWN BEARS. Trubisky is FEELIN HIMSELF and hits Tarik Cohen for an easy score and the romp is on. BEARS 21, Bucs 3. Too easy, too pretty, too many touchdowns. Wait, no, not that last one. pic.twitter.com/j96VKw4cGS 1245 - Bucs kick a field goal or whatever, it wasn't even that big of a deal. BEARS 14, Bucs Only 3. 1235 PM - TOUCHDOWN BEARS. Trubisky to Allen Robinson for 14 yards and a score and THE BEARS ARE BACK BABY. BEARS 14, Bucs 0. L kin' forward to a lot more of this from 10 & 12!#TBvsCHI | #DaBears pic.twitter.com/BcuhmcghdR 1227 PM- Because time is a flat circle that's relative, the Bears started off strong, have looked bad on offense since, and their defense is covering for them with key sacks. They're nothing if not on-brand. 1225- yupppppppppppppppppppp: Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Bears score easily on scripted first drive, Mitch looks completely overwhelmed on his second drive. 1208 - TOUCHDOWN BEARS. Trubisky hits Burton for a nice 40 yard TD pass. BEARS 7, Bucs 0. Trubisky. Burton. 1205 - Sleeved Trubisky! Hmmm. #Bears QB Mitch Trubisky wearing a neoprene sleeve from just above his right elbow down to his wrist. 12 PM - The Bears lost the toss but Tampa Bay deferred. Bears ball to start. Let's go! Inactives are out! Check them all out right here. PREGAME READS Bears slight favorites over Bucs (Too) Bold Predictions: So, So Many Points1st QUARTER - Bears 14, Bucs 0
