Michael Husted's second fieldgoal of the game proved to be the game winner as the Buc defense came up strong in the fourth quarter and gave the Buccaneers victory over the Bears. Mazio Royster scored the first TD of his career and Courtney Hawkins returned a punt to inside the Chicago 10-yard line to set up one of Husted's fieldgoals.
