1. Nick Foles lived up to his reputation.
He missed gimme throws. He had some bad decisions.
Yet he also absolutely didn& #39;t blink in the face of a good Bucs defense.
When he found a rhythm, he sliced through them like they weren& #39;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& #39;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& #39;t let that fool you. He& #39;s been close to a big play for the past two weeks.
He should& #39;ve had a 52-yard TD at the start of the 2nd quarter but Foles missed him.
It& #39;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& #39;Shawn Vaughn was the play of the game and proved he& #39;s not just a great player but a complete one.

7. Khalil Mack lives for primetime.
Two sacks (should& #39;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& #39;s washed up have no clue what they& #39;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& #39;t have a lot of sacks.
That said his presence is still felt. He& #39;s been close on several rushes and Mack is benefitting from him being on the field.
Wonder if he& #39;s still not 100% healthy.

11. Matt Nagy still deserves criticism for how painfully unprepared his offense can look at times.
Yet it& #39;s impossible to question his leadership.
That& #39;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& #39;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& #39;s a lost cause though. Let& #39;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.
