TAMPA, Fla. — Bears wide receiver Chase Claypool’s performance in the season opener was so bad that he spent part of the week apologizing to coaches and teammates and promising to do better.
He was confident he delivered on that against the Buccaneers on Sunday despite an ugly 27-17 loss in which the passing attack sputtered again. Claypool caught three passes for 36 yards and his first touchdown in nine games as a Bear.
