Tampa Bay Buccaneers 18 Chicago Bears 24 Sunday 23 October 2011 at Wembley Stadium FOX COMMENTARY CREW Kenny Albert and Darryl Johnston
A second International game in three years and a second straight defeat at Wembley Stadium. The Bucs fought back from a 21-5 fourth quarter deficit but four Josh Freeman interceptions and a costly personal foul penalty on Aqib Talib were too much for the Bucs to overcome. Earnest Graham sustained what would turn out to be a career-ending injury in the first half.
