Bears’ Rome Odunze pays cool homage to Cole Kmet after TD vs. Buccaneers

The Chicago Bears continued their winning ways in the first half of their game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Soldier Field as trade deadline rumors swirled around Ben Johnson's team. Kyle Monangai got an injury update ahead of the game as Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze starred in the early going.

The duo capped the first scoring drive of the game as the Bears made it 7-0 on a nine-yard touchdown toss that gave Odunze a chance to remember his fallen teammate Cole Kmet, who is out for the season with a serious right knee injury.
