A lot of defense limited big fantasy contributors
We finally were treated to an entertaining “Thursday Night Football” game, and what made it even better were the fantasy football implications both teams had to offer.
Of course, perhaps none were more impressive than the two respective defenses, which almost certainly fared well if you had them in the starting lineup.
Anyway, the Chicago Bears earned a 20-19 win on “Thursday Night Football” over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Soldier Field.
