The coldest ever game in Tampa Bay history, it being just 11 degrees at kickoff. There were over 20,000 Soldier Field no-shows because of the cold. The Bucs were held to just 209 yards of total offense and had three turnovers. Fortunately the Bears threw three picks of their own or else the scoreline could have been a lot worse.
