Buccaneers vs. Bears live updates, inactives, where to watch: Surging Bucs defense, Emeka Egbuka take on Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson on 'Sunday Night Football'

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears face off on "Sunday Night Football" in Week 9, with kickoff set for 8:20 p.m. ET from Soldier Field in Chicago.The Buccaneers (3-5) are very much alive in a (sort of) competitive NFC South. The division sits wide open, with each team sitting below.500, keeping Tampa Bay's hopes of the postseason alive after winning three of its last four games despite an 0-4 start to the year. The Bears (6-2) have dropped two games all season and are 4-0 in games that quarterback Caleb Williams has started and finished, as he dealt with a hamstring injury earlier this season. Chicago's offense has posted three straight games of 30-plus points, and after a stunning midseason trade to acquire All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, the defense is looking just as daunting for opponents.
