Bears vs Buccaneers 2021: Game Time, TV schedule, live stream, previews, and more

The Chicago Bears are 3-3 and coming off a disappointing loss last week, while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 5-1 and looking for their best start in franchise history with a win. On paper this isn’t a good matchup for the Bears, but the Bears weren’t supposed to beat the Bucs last year either, and they did so behind good games by Khalil Mack, Allen Robinson, and Nick Foles.

Anything can happen once that whistle blows.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Bears vs Buccaneers week 7 matchup.

When is the game?

Sunday, October 24 at 3:25 p.m. CT

Weather
