The Bears won Sunday night for just the third time this century when committing 5+ turnovers. Both other games came in 2006 when the Bears last made the Super Bowl.
Despite the offensive miscues, the defense more than held its own, intercepting Baker Mayfield twice including Jaylen Johnson's pick-6, sacking him four times, and holding Tampa Bay to 2-for-12 on 3rd down.
