We're into Week 5 now, and this week's edition of Thursday Night Football features a matchup of two 3-1 teams. The , holding a Bernie Kosar Jersey one-game lead in the NFC South, travel to Soldier Field to take on the , who sit a game behind the division lead in the NFC North.Being that these are two of only five NFC teams with records over .500, this game could very well have playoff implications, no matter what anybody thought about the two sides coming into the year. With that in mind, let's break things down.Date:Thursday, Oct. 8|Time:8:20 p.m. ETLocation:Soldier Field (Chicago, Illinois)TV:FOX, Network|Stream:fuboTV( )Follow: It doesn't make sense to talk about the Tampa Bay offense without first acknowledging the injuries this unit is dealing with at the moment. The list is, uh, extensive. Wide receivers and are out, as is running back . is doubtful, while and Scotty Miller are questionable. And tight end O.J. Howard is now out for the year. That means even if Evans and Miller are able to suit up, the Bucs will have only those two, plus fifth-round rookie , , and Cyril Grayson at receiver; and third-round pick in the backfield; and and at tight end. And given their questionable status, it's po sible Tampa could be down to only Jones, Gronk, and Brate as their healthy regulars at the skill positions.Ordinarily this would seem like a ma sive i sue, but there's I saw a stat yesterday that makes me question just how much it matters. Here's another fun factoid!Gue s how Tom Brady has fared in his career against Chuck Pagano defenses?Wait for it...Brady is 5-0 with a +113 point differential. Not a typo.If the Bears lose by 20 on Thursday night, it's a BETTER than average lo s for Pagano...BIG YIKES. Dhruv Koul (@DhruvKoul) Brady's dominance during his nearly two decades in New England was first and foremost a result of his skill and intellect, as well as the play-calling and design of offensive coordinators like Josh McDaniels -- but he was also afforded incredibly clean pockets throughout his time with the , and the impact that had on his ability to pick defenses apart cannot be Daniel Jones Men Jersey discounted. You might be interested to know, then, that the Bucs' revamped offensive line is looking like one of the best in football through the early part of the season. They've got the sixth-best pa s blocking grade from Pro Football Focus, while offensive line guru Brandon Thorn from Establish the Run named them as one of his . When you're working with a crew of either subpar or injury-affected weapons in the pa sing game, it's important to make sure they have time to get open -- especially when the opponent has and coming off the edge and crashing the pocket up the middle. The trio of , , and has been strong up the middle, where it'll be important to keep Hicks from knocking them backward and forcing Brady to move off his spot to the edges. Brady is far better at dealing with perimeter pre sure and stepping up into the pocket than he is at escaping to the outside when the rush comes up the middle. Tampa has and rookie bookending the line to deal with Mack (Wirfs) and, presumably, Robert Quinn (Smith), though will also get some run rushing at Smith as well.On the perimeter, the Bears use primarily at left corner and rookie on the right, with in the slot. Skrine is easily the most likely of the three to be picked on, though if slot man Miller sits out that could make things difficult for Brady, who seems to have developed a strong level of trust in him on the young season. , , , and make for a very strong up-the-middle pa s defense, which obviously has the potential to affect the Brady-to-Gronk connection. Vaughn appeared to have a decent-sized role catching Phillip Lindsay Jersey pa ses out of the backfield last week, and it wouldn't be surprising if he and Jones were heavily involved in the pa s game again on Thursday night.Chicago's run defense is lagging behind its pa s unit so far this season, but the Bucs offensive line is a better pa s-blocking unit than they are paving the way for the run. Tampa ranks 16th in Football Outsiders' Adjusted Line Yards and has allowed 19 percent of rushing attempts to be stopped at or behind the line of scrimmage, the 22nd-ranked mark in the league. Jones got going on the ground against the last week, though, so perhaps he can find a similar rhythm against Chicago. The big question on this side of the ball is whether Chicago's offensive line can hold up against Tampa's excellent defensive front, which ranks fourth in the league in pre sure rate, third in Adjusted Line Yards and fifth in the percentage of opponent rush attempts stopped at or behind the line of scrimmage. has picked up right where he left off last season, collecting three sacks in four games and ranking sixth among all edge rushers in Weighted Overall Win Rating, an adjusted version of Pro Football Focus' pre sures and Latavius Murray Youth Jersey run stops per snap which accounts for the greater importance of pa s-rushing in comparison to run defense. ranks 14th in the same metric among interior defenders, giving Tampa a dynamic inside-outside force up front.Every quarterback struggles under pre sure, but struggles more than most. He has a 68.7 pa ser rating when under pre sure over the last four seasons, per Pro Football Focus and Tru Media, and he has the second-lowest scramble rate among the 58 quarterbacks who have attempted at least 200 pa ses during that span. His pa sing EPA per play on those dropbacks is right on par with that of , which any Bears fan will tell you, is not good. To s in the Bears losing pa s-catching running back -- a valuable release valve for the quarterback when under pre sure -- for the season and it's not a great matchup for the Chicago offense. Tampa has also been pretty stingy on the back end, where cornerbacks (77.1 pa ser rating allowed on throws in his direction, per Pro Football Focus) and (84.3) are off to solid starts. has been more beatable in the slot, though, yielding 14 catches for 167 yards and a score on just 15 targets when lined up inside. That could point to a big role for (97 percent of his routes have come in the slot) when the Bears go into three wide receiver sets, while and work against the better corners on the perimeter. Robinson is clearly this team's best wideout, though, so Chicago would do well to get him matched up against Murphy-Bunting quite often as well.In the team's first full Emmanuel Ogbah Jersey game without Cohen last week, filled the feature back role, and it's reasonable to expect him to do so here as well. Montgomery was wildly ineffective running the ball last season, but got off to a good start against the and this year before being slowed down by the and (especially) . He's making defenders mi s more often this season (12 mi sed tackles forced in the run game so far, per Pro Football Focus), but still not breaking long runs: only
