Bucs’ Pick Party Continues | Data Crunch

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fell 27-24 to the Chicago Bears on Sunday night despite forcing five turnovers, including four interceptions. Cornerback Zyon McCollum secured two interceptions, while safety Tykee Smith and linebacker Alex Anzalone grabbed one apiece against Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. Quarterback Baker Mayfield threw for a season-high 243 passing yards, but offensive mistakes and a late field goal by Chicago's Cairo Santos sealed the defeat.

With this performance, Tampa Bay became the first defense with consecutive four-interception games since 2017. Over their past five games, the Buccaneers have amassed 1,051 rushing yards and forced 17 turnovers, matching a feat not accomplished in a five-game span since the 1985 Chicago Bears. Running back Bucky Irving added 97 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries.
