The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to challenge the Chicago Bears with what is being described as the toughest rushing test of the season for Chicago's defense. The matchup comes as the Bears look to build on offensive momentum, highlighted by a December 14, 2025 victory over the Cleveland Browns at Soldier Field where running back D'Andre Swift scored a first-quarter touchdown, celebrated by quarterback Caleb Williams.
Previewing the game, analysts note the Buccaneers' potent ground attack will test a Bears run defense that has shown vulnerability. The contest represents a significant benchmark for Chicago's defensive front as they prepare for the postseason push.
