doug martin went through his first practice in almost two months. a good sign, yes. but is it one that tells us he is a go sunday against chicago? >> reporter: the buccaneers' back field problems became a lot clear we are doug martin finally returning but is number 22 healthy enough to actually play sunday against the bears after not playing in almost two months? >> that is an excellent question, and i do not know the answer to that. that depends on the guy, who the guy is, the severity of the injury and how fast he comes back, how he looks in practice. >> reporter: martin looked back to his regular sifnl the 30 minutes allotted for media to watch practice. he seemed to effects of his hamstring injury but dirk koetter wouldn't he will lab bore fly. now we're crossing over into injuries and game plans. >> reporter: so there's still a lot about doug martin we don't know. the buccaneers back field will consist of james and barber. like they have shown all season it doesn't matter who is in the back field because the number one goal on offense is to establish a running g

doug martin was back at bucs practice today... hoping >> well, doug martin was back in buc's practice this week, hoping to stop their skid. they are scheduled to play the remaining teams with the worst words on the schedule. >> the bucs of the season facing a two-win opponent, the chicago bears that they just have to beat. >> we have to get out there and get this game, we have not won at home all year and we have to get this one. >> adding to the pressure is winning at home where the bucs have only three victories in the last three years and no victories at home this season. and while they are trying not to with winning at home. >> going back to a couple of years ago seems like we have a tougher time winning at home. >> we have not won a game at home all year and we don't want to be down three game losses in a row, and we are 3-5 and we don't want to go 3-6. >> winston is following a similar path starting with protecting the football. over the last four games he has thrown just continues to find ways of getting mike evans the ball

doug martin. now we have a two dimensional offense again. doug martin didn't have like a stellar day. 16 carries, 33 yards but here, you get him into the end zone in at the full back, shall we? you might know him. i believe his number is 93. he's a big boy. that's gerald mc coy leading the way for doug martin. he's a fullback. i think you or i could score that touchdown maybe. >>dave: i don't know why teams don't do that more often when they get down to the goal line, get the big lineman in there to help out. >>walter: mc coy. if you want to play them on all three phases of the game. >>dave: up next, chiefs in kansas city. >>walter: i like the chances. guys? >>laura: very nice. thank you, gentlemen. some of you woke up in the middle of the night to see the supermoon. it's the closest the moon has been to earth in 68 years and it won't come this close again until 2034. we sent ken to check it out, do >>reporter: supermoon deal is a once in a lifetime opportunitied. -- opportunity. if you've been checking out the skies and haven't seen anythin

.>>> for kinnear fans and fantasy football owners want to know if doug martin will play sunday. next in sports. >>> thanks for stopping by, doug martin getting closer to returning for the buccaneers, today after practice the star running back is a gametime surprise knowing how far he has come from his hamstring injury that he suffered in week two, he practice all week upgraded to full participation in today's practice which does not mean he will play. if you follow the buccaneers you know they take hamstring injuries seriously. does not take much to re- aggravate that. martin did that once already so don't be surprised if they hold him out sunday.>>> he will go right up until he did more every day this week increasing a little bit more. you know, he officially is not cleared, but there is still a chance, 48 hours we will see what happens. >> usf and memphis kicking off tomorrow night, usf on the outside looking in when it comes to playing in the acc conference temperature game, and the final two games and hope for a temple loss to earn a spot there is a lot that can happen betwe

the dugger naught returned in a big way yesterday, doug martin scored his first touchdown in nearly a year while the buccaneers celebrated a rare home victory against the bears 36-10. just the fourth win dating back to the end of the 2013 season. bears. jay cutler having issues connecting with his receivers. that's chris conte of the bucs. second interception of the game for cutler, 7-0 buccaneers. bears turn over in the first half. in the second half, bucs capitalize, the winston, 14-3 tampa bay, and that's winston's 43rd touchdown. bucs take a 17-10 lead into the break. your play of the game, bucs facing own 23. winston looking to pass, sees the pressure, pocket collapses, eludes multiple sacks and even a safety, somehow he breaks through, and it's caught by mike evans. 39-yard gain. what a play. that later set up this freddy martino touchdown catch two plays later. towards the enof the 4th, a doug martin touchdown i mentioned moments ago. 6th of last year and the fourth home win for the bucs in three years. more on the win and buccaneer pre-game controversy. >> thank you, chicago.

will we see more of running back doug martin? maybe a more effective run game? it was great to see doug score it's a topic i discussed with head coach dirk koetter during our exclusive koetter's corner interview. >> i think it's tough on any player, especially a running back that has been out that long to come back and be the same old doug martin as you say. i think we are asking too much. i think his role will continue to go up and up and up as he gets his legs back under him. >> when urban meyer was asked if he would pay attention to the college playoff rankings, he said i will be michigan state but the buckeyes are expected to cozy up right behind number one alabama following a crazy saturday where three of the top four teams in the rankings all lost. it was wacky. and butch davis, once again a head coach. cleveland browns and north carolina coach, put in charge of a struggling florida international program today. davis of course was a consultant on the bucs staff in he is very popular down in south florida. we will see what he does with that program.>> anythi

he's a little like doug martin. we know those are the kind of guys that get yards for this football team. the line men, they love to block for those guys. top passer right now in the nfl. the bucs got to him three times in atlanta on opening day. >> there's no question about it. you said top passer in the lead. he's top passer as well in terms of a pocket, a clean pocket. 128 passer rating for matt ryan with a clean pocket. that tells you it's disaster if noah response is starting to work things out. he's starting to figure out some of the techniques he's got. mccoy is healthy again. this team believes it can get to the passer tonight. they're going to have to blitz to do it, but if they can get to him, they're going to cause problems for matt ryan. >> you know what might slow matt ryan down, if john lynch was patrolling. john lynch, big tonight's game, being inducted into the bucs ring of honor. i had a chance to catch up with the former buccaneer's safety earlier in the year. >> reporter: john lynch, 9th inductee

the bucs also got rusher "doug martin" back in this game. he's still not 100 percent, but got a touchdown in the fourth quarter. and his lead ?blocker on that mccoy... who was actually playing fullback. bucs win big... 36 to 10. here's reaction from the and right after the bucs game, fox viewers got to see a possible ?superbowl matchup. the pittsburgh steelers hosting the dallas cowboys. the steelers would score first... going up 12 to 3 at one point. but "dak prescott" and the cowboys were just warming up. ezekiel elliott takes a screen pass from prescott 83 yards for a touchdown! second half, prescott would toss a ?50 yard touchdown to dez bryant. elliott gets a 32 rushing touchdown to seal it with just seconds to go in cowboys win... 35 to 30... their ?eighth win in a row. and... an exciting end to nfl sunday... the new england patriots hosting the seattle seahawks. a rematch of superbowl 49. and this one... came down to ?another questionable goal-line play. but this time, it was the ?patriots on the losing end. new england on the ?one ya

and it looks "doug martin" is finally back on the practice field! martin was on the field wednesday practicing in a limited capacity... but looks to be a real possibility this week at home against chicago. martin injured his hamstring in week 2 against arizona. then, he re- aggravated it a few weeks later. it's been a slow healing process, but assuming he stays on course... he should be carrying the ball this sunday. the bucs really need some consistency in that running game. they've had a different starting running back almost every ?week, since martin went out. the tampa bay lightning are back in action tonight at amalie arena, hosting the new york islanders. but they will ?still be without winger "jonathan drouin." he wasn't at practice yesterday and no timetable for his return. he's missed the last three games after taking a hit to the head back on november 1st. ?also against the islanders. and finally... a much-needed show of american ?unity this morning. and it's all thanks to the n-h-l. last night, the st. louis blues were hosting the chicago

one player i am anxious to see play more this week in kansas city is running back doug martin. it was great to see him score at the end of the game, but 33 yards on 16 carries? it's one i asked dirk koetter about. >> yeah, i think it's tough on any player, especially a running back that's been out that long to come back and be the same old doug martin as you say. i think we're asking too much. we knew we were going to go running back by committee. i think it was an emotional lift to get him out there. but all three tail backs played around 20 plays each. >> and thanks night's implosion of the top the teams in college football, tonight's rankings should lead to debate. three of the top four team last week lost on saturday. i was home watching football. and -- >> couldn't believe it. >> michigan lost to the iowa on a field goal, i was like this is the whackiest weekend in a longtime -- the waciest weekend in a -- the weirdest weekend in a longtime. one of the three team, clemson, michigan, washington, and i would say probably clemson, will stay in the top four. >> the rest -- >>

. >> doug martin is expected to return against chicago on sunday. the running back has been out since we 2. with or without him they have not flex their muscle. >> reporter: it has been broken for three season. games at home is the worst in the nfl since 2014. does it get loud enough? >> it does. it is fun. to crowd gets into it. >> reporter: teams win on average 50s -- teams win on average 50 for seven -- teams on average win at home 57% of the time. e only done it 15%. >> that is on us. we go out there and play with a reason. >> reporter: a a little crowd noise would not hurt. they say they want it to feel more like denver or chicago. may be the true test of a fan base is when a team is at its worst. that certainly is the case for >> we just try tried to go out there and win football games. >> they desperately need a win at home. they owe it to the fans. >> we will be cheering for them. we are back in just a minute. z262jz zy6z i'm afraid you're suffering from fobo. fobo? fobo. fobo... fear of better options. first there is shaving. blades. sharp

how about that, the return of doug martin finally, ran for 33 yards today. the next pass thrown quarter after the 4th turnover of the half by the bears. finds cameron brady who had a great day, 14-3. final play of the half, cutler hail mary off the hands of conte so it's 17-10 and then this happens in the 3rd quarter, winston in big trouble, nearly sacked. now he's in his own end zone, nearly sacked finds mike evans past midfield. this is just an amazing little 39-yard play. the next play is a winston pass to mar teen owe, his -- martino, that ends it 24-10. the final 36-10. the bucs finally get a win at home. >>the defense played outstanding. they played amazing and that's what they're capable of. >>i feel great, everybody feels we need to keep this feeling alive. >>it was a blessing to come out here and work like that. we just felt like we were just almost unstoppable today. and we've got to keep it up. >>thank our fans. there are a lot less bear fans than there were last time. hats off to the fans. great job. let's do it again in a couple of weeks. >>i kn

in the 70s. >> looking forward to it. >> well, cautioned not to get too far ahead of ourselves, doug martin is limited at practice. playing on sunday up in the air. meanwhile mike evans has cleared concussion protocol ask and is good to go. russ many shepard not quite ready yet. potentially having martin in the back field would be a huge boost to the offense. it's been a slow healing process coming back from the hamstring injury, especially it last month. martin said he thought he was ready to return before he tweaked it again. needless to say he's having the extra patience this time around. he's optimistic about a sunday return. >> it felt good to get back on the field in general. to put on the pads. be out there with my brother. get out there and dot drills, the running back drills. seeing guys go down, it's hard to see that. we want to get in there but you can't. >> well, a full slate of football on sunday. 10:30 a.m. right here on fox 13. i'll be live at raymond james stadium. and the continued pregame coverage will take up up to the 1:00 kickoff between the bears and bucks followed by

hopefully it turns around when doug martin is back. hopefully that gives us a -- you can catch this afternoon's game right here on fox 13 beginning at 1:00. >>> if you are headed to the game maybe doing some tailgating this morning, depending on how early you are going, you may encounter some fog to start out the day. but, as we head into 10:00 a.m. or so, this is great looking weather. fall like for florida standards with low humidity. 79 the 1:00 kickoff we will be in the low 80s inland today. but we are greeted by low clouds. tampa bay north this morning. primarily near i-4. so, here overlooking brookdale bayshore, not great visibility. 58?. east wind. t is cool, but we had enough moisture this morning that we lowered the visibility, lowered the cloud deck. near i-4. so, anywhere from polk city to quarter of a mile. that's where you see zero. winterhaven keep it slow. brandon up toward vel rico, dense fog for you. this extends, kind of hooks back west. it should be lifting out between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. a beautiful day. combined wi

and on to football, and we'll likely have doug martin back this week, but still without shepherd and canville. they are back to pull defensive guys and now they need to go out and examine suit defensively, because they've giving up nearly 111 yards combined in the last two games. defensive coordinator mike smith says he has to turn things around, beginning this week against the chicago bears. >> we've got to do a better job

doug martin back on the field for the first time since week 2. he is coming back from a hamstring injury which outside of one knee as the worst you can suffer for a running back. he has also been out of action for almost 2 months and you just don't top back. noncommittal about the martin status heading into sunday. >> that is an excellent question. i do not know the answer to that. that depends on who the guy is in the severity of the injury and how fast he comes back and how he looks at practice. >>> mike evans continues to practice but remains on a concussion protocol. he is definitely working his way to play on sunday. joe holley returns today. heading to memphis on saturday coming off a bye week the cavs hope to backup the win over navy and keep the title hopes alive. in the process exercise the demons that follow them. >> i have a big-time challenge for us on the road in memphis. i got really excited about this opportunity. it is a good football team, and we have to play our best. better than what we did last time we left tampa. >> usf on th

running back doug martin going through running back drills. thought of having martin available for sunday's game against the bears is great news for a position group that has endured one injury after the next. martin has not played since injuring his hamstring in week two against the cardinals. >> it's great to have him. anytime we get our guys back, it's awesome. all of our guys that are able to work out better injured are working out at all hours out on through whether it be machines and then gradually progressing up to the run on the field and changing direction. >> john cooper gave his team a pass after losing to the panthers in a hard-fought game on monday but tomorrow night against the islanders, cooper's says points are mandatory. there was an islanders player that check out jonathan doran just eight days ago. a massive hit. there was no is slow and deliberate. cooper said there is no timetable for his return. >>> despite missing 48 straight games with a broken wrist, kevin kiermaier won his second straight american league gold glove at

lewis murphy done for the season and running back doug martin and jack rogers both no shows at practice and no updates on east one of them. before i tell but this buccaneer move let's just say they have no downside to it and pretty desperate as receiver. they did sign doug huff to the practice squad. released by the eagles last week after being charged with possession of marijuana and carrying unregistered gun. huff says you live and learn. cutter hopes that this team can learn how to keep his team going on special teams. >> he is a return man and he is a guy that like all of these career and a guy available and will take a look on the practice squad and we are trying to develop those guys and to guys that can help us at some point. >>> it looks like the gators could use reinforcement they lost luke dell reo to a shoulder injury for the season. austin apple bee will be taking over again against south carolina and gators lost cam dillard and linebacker alex lancaloni and jarrett davis is out with a sprained ankle versus south carolina. it is a good thing this game is at the swamp. >>> cl
