The Chicago Bears are staring down at the rest of the NFC North for the first time in five years.The view from the top is quite a change for a franchise stuck at the bottom the past few seasons.The Bears meet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday in a matchup between unlikely division leaders Youth Eddie Goldman Jersey , with Chicago in sole possession of first place for the first time since Marc Trestman was the coach and Jay Cutler the quarterback."Just says we're in the right direction," linebacker Danny Trevathan said. "We're in the right place. Goes to show that we're still working hard. It's tough out here to stack them wins, but we're up for it."Tampa Bay (2-1) is tied with New Orleans and Carolina for the NFC South lead, a bit of a change for a franchise with one winning season since 2010. The Buccaneers are coming off a 30-27 loss to Pittsburgh in which they fell behind by 20 and fell short after holding the Steelers scoreless in the second half.Now, they have to decide if they'll stick with veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick or go with Jameis Winston at quarterback. Winston's three-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy is over."I'm impressed because no one thought we'd be here," coach Dirk Koetter said. "But I'm also disappointed at the same time because I feel like we had a real opportunity to be 3-0 instead of 2-1."The Bears (2-1) came into the season expecting more after four straight last-place finishes in their division, though first place seemed like a stretch even after the blockbuster trade with Oakland for Khalil Mack on Sept. 1. But here they are with sole possession of the NFC North lead for the first time since Week 16 in 2013.They've won two in a row after a 16-14 nail-biter at Arizona last week. And if they beat Tampa Bay, they'll match their longest run since a 3-0 start in 2013.Here are some things to know:QB DECISIONThe Bucs remain mum on whether Winston or Ryan Fitzpatrick will start against the Bears. Fitzpatrick has thrown for a league-leading 1,230 yards and 11 TDs and is the first in NFL history to top 400 yards passing in three consecutive games. Koetter informed both QBs who will take the first snap Sunday, however he's in no hurry to let the Bears or the rest of the world know."Hope everybody can appreciate that it doesn't do us any good to tell our opponents what we're going to do," Koetter said.DOMINANT 'D'Mack has been everything the Bears could have wanted when they made the trade with Oakland just before the start of the season. The two-time All-Pro is tied for the league lead with four sacks and has at least one in each game, including two last week. He is also tops in the NFL with three forced fumbles.But he has hardly been the lone contributor on defense.Trevathan and defensive tackle Akiem Hicks each have two sacks. Hicks also has two forced fumbles.MAKING THEIR POINTSTampa Bay has the NFL's No. 1 ranked offense with 1,420 yards, seventh-most in league history through three games. The team's 1,202 yards passing are the second-most at this point in a season. New England had 1,313 yards passing through three games in 2011.The Bucs are averaging 34 points per game, tied for third among league leaders. Their 102 points are a team record through three games.TAKING TIMEWith four trips to the end zone Youth Cody Whitehair Jersey , the Bears are struggling to get touchdowns from their offense. Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky has been shaky, and coach Matt Nagy might reduce the playbook this week.But he insists it's just a matter of the offense needing time to come together rather than a personnel problem."We know right now offensively we're not where we want to be," Nagy said. "But we're not in any type of panic mode because we understand that part of the process, but we're going to do everything we can to try to get better."MORE TRUBISKYTrubisky will be making his 16th career start and will have the equivalent of a full NFL season under him after this game.His 77.8 rating is barely better than the 77.5 he had in 12 games as a rookie under John Fox last season. He has more interceptions (three) than touchdown passes (two).But he's also adjusting to his second system in as many seasons after being drafted with the No. 2 overall pick in 2017."I'm still getting better," Trubisky said. "We still have to look at the improvements I have been making and not mistakes I have been making." No matter how dominant Chicago Bears star pass rusher Khalil Mack is, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick wanted to make one thing clear.He's no L.T."Wait a minute, we're talking about Lawrence Taylor now," Belichick said Wednesday. "Yeah, I'm not putting anybody in Lawrence Taylor's class. So, you can put everybody down below that. With a lot of respect to a lot of good players now, but we're talking about Lawrence Taylor."The Patriots visit the Bears this week and that means Belichick will get an up-close look at one of the game's top outside linebackers, assuming Mack is ready to play after injuring his ankle last week.Belichick knows the Patriots could have their hands full with a two-time All-Pro and havoc-wreaking edge rusher who has energized a struggling franchise. He's just not ready to place Mack 鈥?or anyone else 鈥?on Taylor's level."He's already had a huge impact on the Bears' defense in the first five games," said Belichick who was Taylor's position coach and then defensive coordinator with the New York Giants."So, I'm not taking anything away from him. You're talking about Lawrence Taylor, you're talking about probably the greatest defensive player in the history of the game. So, I think it's a little early. I mean, look http://www.bearsfootballauthentics.com/kyle-fuller-jersey-authentic , I wouldn't put anybody in Lawrence Taylor's category. Not that I've seen. And I've seen a lot of great players."Whether Mack will play this week is up in the air after he was injured in an overtime loss at Miami. He did not practice Wednesday, and coach Matt Nagy said he is day to day.Mack was hurt early in the game against the Dolphins and his 2018 streak of at least one sack and one forced fumble in each game ended. Playing without him would be a huge blow, particularly with Tom Brady and the Patriots visiting on Sunday."We're just going to continue to keep an eye on it and make sure whatever we do, we're more cautious than anything," Nagy said. "I believe in that and I think it's important to go that route."Mack has not missed a game since Oakland drafted him with the No. 5 overall pick in 2014. Chicago acquired him from the Raiders just before the start of the season, after he held out the entire offseason and preseason trying to secure a long-term deal rather than play under the final season of his rookie contract. Mack and the Bears then agreed to a six-year, $141 million extension that guarantees $90 million.The trade for Mack has boosted a franchise with four straight last-place finishes in the NFC North. Despite the loss at Miami, the Bears (3-2) remain in sole possession of the division lead for the first time since late in the 2013 season. But the defense wasn't the same against the Dolphins with Mack at less than 100 percent.The pass rush never got to Miami quarterback Brock Osweiler, and the Bears' league-best run defense was trampled by 35-year-old running back Frank Gore for 101 of Miami's 161 yards rushing.Missed tackles on Albert Wilson contributed to two shorter passes going for long touchdowns to cap off a rough game in the heat for the Bears."I guess it happens every once in a while, not maybe to that extent, to have that much of an impact on a game," said cornerback Kyle Fuller, who had two interceptions. "But it's one of those things we just learn from it and move forward."NOTES: CB Prince Amukamara (hamstring), WR Allen Robinson (groin) and LG Eric Kush (neck) were limited in practice.
