CHICAGO – There weren’t enough game balls to go around for the Bears defense after Sunday Night Football. Everyone deserved one for what they did against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Linebacker Devin Bush was one of the fastest, most physical players on the field.
Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons handled his usual double teams and chased down screens
Do-everything defensive back Cam Lewis jumped a route and made an interception.
Defensive end Austin Booker was seemingly on quarterback Baker Mayfield’s heels all night long.
And cornerback Jaylon Johnson delivered the biggest play of the night with a pick-six in the third quarter. The list of standout players and plays can keep going and going for the Bears.
“That was really the story of the game was those guys stepping up,” coach Ben Johnson said after the Bears’ 27-24 win at Soldier Field on Sunday Night Football.
