The Chicago Bears defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 27-24, on Sunday Night Football in what was an awful offensive showing and inspired defensive showing for Ben Johnson's squad.

The Bears looked like they were headed for another Carolina Panthers-esque win after a quick 14-0 start, where Caleb Williams threw touchdowns to Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III. But when the second quarter hit, everything changed. And it started with a personal foul penalty called on rookie receiver Zavion Thomas that completely flipped the game.

Williams proceeded to throw a career-high four interceptions and the Bears turned the ball over a total of five times. But Chicago's defense rose to the occasion (four sacks, two interceptions) and was the reason why the Bears even had a chance to preserve the win. Cairo Santos was the hero with a 38-yard game-winning field goal to seal the victory.

While it was ugly, a win is a win, and the Bears are sitting at 7-2 heading into their bye week, and there's a chance they could be in first place in the NFC North if the Minnesota Vikings lose on Monday night. This was the worst offensive showing under Ben Johnson, but they still managed to win, which is a sign of a great team.

As you can imagine, there were plenty of reactions to the Bears' sloppy win over the Bucs, where fans were thankful for the victory after an ugly showing, the perfect timing of the bye week and what this win means for the team moving forward.
