WATCH: Rome Odunze has first TD of season to give Bears lead vs Bucs

Rome Odunze has taken a back seat to Luther Burden III on the Chicago Bears . However, on their opening drive against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers , quarterback Caleb Williams found Odunze in the end zone on third down for a touchdown, giving them an early 7-0 lead. Here is a look at Odunze’s touchdown, courtesy of the NFL’s official social media: This was actually Odunze’s first touchdown of the season, since most of Chicago’s touchdowns have gone to Burden and tight end Colston Loveland. He actually had a target in the end zone two plays before the touchdown, but he bobbled the ball and caught it out of bounds. Chicago had a good mix of the run and the pass on their opening drive. Williams threw for 26 yards and also had 11 rushing yards. Running back D’Andre Swift had a few rushing attempts, and they also mixed in Salvon Ahmed, who is playing in his first NFL game since 2023.
