It's a classic tale of offence vs. defence.
When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-1) visit the Chicago Bears (3-1) on Thursday, it'll be a clash of styles on display as each team looks for its fourth win of the season.
Led by Tom Brady, the Bucs have scored at least 28 points in all but one of their four contests so far. Perhaps not surprisingly, the one game in which they only mustered 23 points is also their lone loss of the year. Conversely, the Bears have wrapped up opponents quite efficiently through the first four weeks of the campaign — Chicago's opponents have averaged just 20.25 points per game.
The juxtaposition between the two teams should make for fascinating viewing on Thursday, and it may come down to which team steps out of its comfort zone the most.
If Brady can figure out how to get the ball into the end zone consistently against Chicago, the Bears — who average just one point per game more than they give up — could be in trouble.
Here's everything you need to know about Thursday's broadcast.
