Zavion Thomas fielded the ball at the Chicago 8 and raced 91 yards down the left sideline to the Tampa Bay 1, where he was pushed out of bounds. Tracking data later showed Thomas reached 21.8 mph (fourth-fastest ball-carrier speed of the season) and covered 111.5 yards of total distance on the return. It was the closest he has come to a return touchdown this year.

Thomas's 91-yard kickoff return to the 1-yard line negated by phantom holding call.

Thomas fielded a kickoff at the Chicago 8 and raced 91 yards down the left sideline to the Tampa Bay 1, reaching 21.8 mph (fourth-fastest ball-carrier speed of the season) and covering 111.5 yards of total distance on the return—the closest he has come to a return touchdown this year. However, an erroneous offensive holding flag on D'Marco Jackson negated the near-touchdown, shifting Chicago's field position by approximately 79 yards and handing Tampa Bay a massive advantage in a one-score game that finished 27–24.
