Chicago Bears vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Live Score, Highlights and Analysis
This year's NFL game in London pits the Chicago Bears against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Fox 1 p.m. ET). For the Bucs, it's their second trip in three years to Wembley Stadium. The last time a Chicago team played a game in London, the Bears beat the Dallas Cowboys in a 1986 preseason game.
Both teams still have playoff hopes and are coming off impressive victories in Week 6. Tampa Bay beat NFC South rivals New Orleans 26-20 on the strength of Josh Freeman's 303 passing yards and two touchdowns.
Chicago dominated the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night 39-10 behind strong performances from Jay Cutler and Matt Forte, as well their much maligned offensive line.

Projecting Every NFL Team's Starting Lineup 🔮

Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
The question of the day will be which team had the best travel plans. Tampa Bay head coach Raheem Morris brought his team to London Monday morning, well ahead of today's battle with the Bears. Morris is hoping his team has time to acclimate to the new time zone and is ready to play Sunday, jet lag-free.
The Bears and Lovie Smith waited until Thursday night, Chicago time, to fly to London. The hope was that the Bears sleep on the plane and treat this just like any other road game.
Smith told reporters at his weekly press conference this week that the trip to London is just "a business trip."
Expect the Fox commentators to repeatedly mention the differing travel itineraries throughout today's broadcast.
