Tampa Bay won its season opener against Chicago, 29-7 on Sunday at home.

The Buccaneers, who led 26-0 at halftime, had to take a bye week in the first week of the season due to Hurricane Irma. They scored points in almost every way, with a passing touchdown, rushing touchdown, three field goals and a pick-six.
