Could this be the week that Doug Martin returns to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Jameis Winston and company could use the star running back this week when they host Jay Cutler and the Chicago Bears. While the Buccaneers have lost two in a row, the Bears pulled off a surprising Monday Night Football upset when they defeated the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8. Will the Bears make it two in row? We’ll find out later this afternoon!

WHAT TIME DOES THE CHICAGO BEARS VS. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS GAME START?

The Bears and Buccaneers are scheduled to kick off at 1:00 P.M. Eastern.

HOW DO I LIVE STREAM THE TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS VS. CHICAGO BEARS GAME?

The Bears/Buccs game will air on FOX. If you have a cable subscription, and (this is important) you are receiving the broadcast in your area, you’re all set: you can live stream Buccaneers vs Bears free via the Fox Sports Go app, available on iTunes, Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Android, and more.

If you’re a cord-cutter, you can also watch via Sling TV, whose Blue package carries Fox (more on Sling below).

And don’t forget about PlayStation Vue! Subscribers to their ‘Access’ basic cable streaming service have access to Fox, though channel lineups vary by region.

CAN I STREAM VIA DIRECTV SUNDAY TICKET?

You can, but only if you live at an address at which DirecTV does NOT offer service (and only out-of-market games). Check your eligibility here.

WHAT ABOUT NFL GAME PASS?

NFL Game Pass shows games that have already concluded. If you’re fine with on demand NON-live games, sign up for $99/year.

WHAT ABOUT TWITTER? I HEARD THEY WERE STREAMING THE NFL THIS YEAR.

Twitter is indeed streaming a number of games, but only Thursday night games, and not all of them.

HOW CAN I GET SLING TV?

This is a terrific time to check out Sling TV. The service’s Blue package, which includes major networks like Fox and NBC, normally costs $25 a month, but are currently offering subscribers a free one-week trial of the service. Then, from there, you can either download the Sling desktop app (if you’re watching on a desktop or laptop computer), or download the Sling app for iOS/Apple devices, Android, Roku, Microsoft, Nexus player, ZTE or XBox One.
