Lovie Smith’s return to Chicago was not a good one as his Buccaneers committed turnovers all day and dropped them to 2-9 assuring them of their fourth consecutive losing season. “That was the biggest determining factor in the game – the turnover margin,’’ Clinton McDonald said. “That allowed them to flip the field on us in the third quarter and turn the game around.’
