1. Nick Foles lived up to his reputation.
He missed gimme throws. He had some bad decisions.
Yet he also absolutely didn't blink in the face of a good Bucs defense.
When he found a rhythm, he sliced through them like they weren't even there.
And he found a way to win. #Bears

2. It takes time for a quarterback and play caller to get on the same page.
That was evident in the 4th quarter. After a good #Bears drive, they went away from hurry-up to run a play that resulted in a sack-fumble that killed it.
Foles was not happy and made sure Nagy knew it.

3. David Montgomery will come across as average from the stats, but his play stood out a lot.
His 3-yard TD helped steady the #Bears after floundering most of the first half.
Then his clutch 17-yard grab on a great read and throw by Foles set them up for the win.

4. Cordarrelle Patterson might be one of Ryan Pace's best free agent signings.
People laughed at how much money the #Bears gave him at the time.
This game proved how valuable he is.
Three catches for 38 yards. A kick return average of 39.7 yards.
He is their spark plug.

5. Darnell Mooney had just two catches for 15 yards.
Don't let that fool you. He's been close to a big play for the past two weeks.
He should've had a 52-yard TD at the start of the 2nd quarter but Foles missed him.
It's only a matter of time before they hit one. #Bears

6. People always focus on coverage and INTs when talking about Kyle Fuller.
They never talk about how insanely good of a tackler he is.
His hit and forced fumble on Ke'Shawn Vaughn was the play of the game and proved he's not just a great player but a complete one.

7. Khalil Mack lives for primetime.
Two sacks (should've had a 3rd) and three hits on Tom Brady.
He ate the Bucs tackles for dinner all night.
A little reminder that people who say he's washed up have no clue what they're talking about.

8. There were some rough moments for Roquan Smith but he still ended up having a good game.
7 tackles
1 TFL
2 passes defended
He is establishing himself as one of the best inside linebackers in football. #Bears

9. People viewed Barkevious Mingo as purely special teams help when the #Bears signed him.
They overlooked his prior history with Chuck Pagano and how he seemed to play well under him.
He has 10 tackles and 1 sack but should get credit for a big half sack of Brady last night.

10. People are frustrated with Robert Quinn.
I get it. Cost a lot of money. Doesn't have a lot of sacks.
That said his presence is still felt. He's been close on several rushes and Mack is benefitting from him being on the field.
Wonder if he's still not 100% healthy.

11. Matt Nagy still deserves criticism for how painfully unprepared his offense can look at times.
Yet it's impossible to question his leadership.
That's 3 double-digit comeback wins in five games this season.
The guy is impossible to fluster. A great quality to have.

12. Losing James Daniels is a tough, tough blow for the #Bears.
He was arguably their best offensive lineman so far this year.
Him going down puts a ton of stress on a front that is already pretty thin.

13. Alex Bars didn't make a good first impression in relief of Daniels.
To be fair, he was tossed into a tough situation against a great Bucs front. His first real NFL action with the #Bears.
Too early to say he's a lost cause though. Let's see how he does with time to prepare.

14. Hats off to Cairo Santos.
The #Bears working out Kai Forbath was a not-so-subtle message that the kicker was on the hot seat.
He responded with a perfect night including a huge 47-yard field goal and of course the 38-yard game-winner.
