To pin this squarely on Fields would be to overlook all the issues contributing to the rookie QB's performance; a shoddy O-line and anonymous receiving corps Allen Robinson, are you there? But you can't turn the ball over multiple times in the NFL and expect to win, and Fields coughed it up a whopping five times -- twice on fumbles and thrice through the air, and that's not even counting a separate fumble he almost lost early in the matchup.
The QB wasn't terribly inaccurate on some key shots but too often took chances when the Bears simply needed possession. The defense, meanwhile, actually played tight coverage against Brady in the first half but had no answers for Fournette, then cratered late as Brady started dicing them up.
The only obvious positive takeaway here: Khalil Herbert, who looked explosive almost every time he touched the ball in the ground game. Trailing and already losing the turnover battle, the Bears opted to stick to the ground to open their fourth offensive drive of the day. And it worked well enough, with Herbert pushing them close to midfield. Then came third-and-5, with just over two minutes left in the first quarter, and Fields lost the ball on a Barrett sack.
Not only did the Bucs take over, killing Chicago's chance at points, but they proceeded to march 35 yards while burning clock, capping the drive with a TD to go up after just one quarter. Give it to Brady, who showed a little pocket mobility before firing the ball to Evans for the wideout's third score of the day:.

But it turned out that Rio Ferdinand, who had been scheduled to join them as an honorary captain for Tampa Bay, had chosen to stay at home. The game, the fifth NFL regular-season contest to be played at Wembley in as many years, had fallen short of a sell-out for the first time due to the NFL lockout this summer, which meant tickets only went on sale in September rather than last December.
Chicago running back Forte ran for yards and scored the opening touchdown from 32 yards out late in the first quarter. Tampa Bay struggled to get any rhythm and blew an easy chance set up by Tanard Jackson's interception, as Josh Freeman threw the ball straight back to Chicago, nine yards from the end zone. Chicago added a second touchdown in the second quarter when Jay Cutler threw 25 yards to Roy Williams in a yard performance, and when Tampa Bay settled for a field goal on their only promising drive of the first half, there was a sense it was already over.
