Winston throws for 312 yards, Buccaneers rout Bears 36-10

Tampa does hope to get Doug Martin back Sunday but the O-line is mediocre at best and the Bears “D” should be able to handle the run and could have a big day hitting Winston, particularly if Eddie Goldman is back and close to 100 percent. Cutler finished 16 of 30 for 182 yards, and Tampa Bay’s Chris Conte returned a first-quarter interception 20 yards to give the Bucs a 7-0 lead.

On a play that seemed to be D.O.A., Winston scrambled out of about four different sack-attempts, avoided giving up a safety and managed to complete a bomb to Mike Evans to cap it all off. Which team will it be?

Cutler (thumb sprain) returned after missing five starts to lead a victory over the Vikings on October 31. It was his only catch of the game and covered 50 yards. Games like Week 10 make it hard to imagine him returning to Chicago in 2017, but we’ve been down this road before.

Cutler did nothing to sustain the good vibes he generated in a successful return from injury on Halloween against the Minnesota Vikings. The Buccaneers have been very inconsistent this year, and they enter Sunday’s game on a two-game losing streak. Tight end Brent Celek (ribs) is questionable, as well as defensive tackle Bennie Logan (groin). And, oh, he did score the touchdown on a 1-yard run that put Tampa Bay up 36-10 in the fourth quarter.

On a third-and-6 on October 31, Floyd commanded the pass-blocking attention of Vikings running back Matt Asiata.

After the bye week, the Bears are getting some of their injured players back in the lineup to face the Buccaneers. He showed up on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant in practice. Royal was second on the team in receiving yards before his injury.

If Martin can not go, the team has rookie Peyton Barber, who started his first National Football League game last week, and Mike James, whom the Bucs re-signed last week.
