Rejuvenated after a week off, the Bears defense is gearing up to face Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston Sunday in Tampa.
After being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, Winston passed for 4,042 yards and 22 touchdowns last season as a rookie. The Florida State product is performing even better this year, according to Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.
"He's improved a lot," Fangio said. "He was a good quarterback last year in his rookie season. You could see the maturation process going on. He's very confident. He's got good quarterback instincts.
