What kind of history is on the line when the Bucs play host to the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon?

After getting off to their fifth 5-1 start in franchise history, the Buccaneers will return home to Raymond James Stadium on Sunday for a late-afternoon matchup against the 3-3 Chicago Bears. When they do so, they’ll be looking to turn their recent record against the Bears on its head.

Tampa Bay has met Chicago seven times since the start of the 2011 season, compiling just a 2-5 record in that stretch. The Bears have won the last two contests in two very different ways, beating the Bucs 48-10 in 2018 before a narrow 20-19 win on Thursday Night Football last October. Sunday, however, will be the first time since Sept. 17, 2017 that the teams will be seeing each other at Raymond James Stadium. That day belonged to the Bucs, as they won 29-7 to open up the season after a hurricane postponed their scheduled season opener against the Dolphins the week before.

While Tampa Bay’s recent history with Chicago hasn’t been the best, its roster is full of players who seemingly continue to make the good kind of history on a weekly basis. Let’s take a look at what records and milestones may be on the line heading into this Week 7 game, shall we?
