Thursday Night Football: Nick Foles vs. Tom Brady

Well, look at that. Just a week after the Chicago Bears (3-1) name Nick Foles their new starting quarterback, the team hosts Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-1) on Week 5’s Thursday Night Football.

Sure, this isn’t quite a Super Bowl re-match — mostly because Foles isn’t with the Eagles and Brady is no longer with the Patriots — but these two QBs definitely have history. “Philly, Philly” anyone?

The Bears lead the all-time series between these teams, 39-20, but the Buccaneers have won 2 of the past 3 meetings. The last time they met in Chicago, however, the Bears won in a heavy-handed 48-10 victory.
