Tampa Bay Buccaneers 38 Chicago Bears 3 Sunday 24 October 2021 at Raymond James Stadium CBS COMMENTARY CREW Jim Nantz and Tony Romo

The Bucs took their record to 6-1, a new best-ever start to a season. The 35-3 half-time scoreline reflected their domination and the second half became a procession of back-ups getting to play and missed chances to extend their lead. Tom Brady threw his 600th regular season TD pass and Mike Evans got himself a hat-trick of scores.
