Bears respond to Caleb Williams’ 4th INT with bonkers Baker Mayfield pick-6 appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Caleb Williams is having a pretty disastrous showing on Sunday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bears quarterback threw three picks in the second quarter alone (two coming in quick succession), then threw a fourth pick of the game in the third quarter.

But the Chicago Bears defense got Williams’ back. Cornerback Jaylon Johnson took the ball back from Baker Mayfield in the ensuing drive, and did one better by taking it all the way to the end zone for a pick six. That touchdown extended their lead to 24-13.
Mayfield was trying to force the ball to tight end Cade Otton, which turned out to be a big mistake. Johnson was right there to jump the pass, and he had a relatively clear path to take the ball all the way to the end zone. The interception is Johnson’s first of the season and the touchdown is only the second of his career.
It has been a rough game for both quarterbacks, who have made some questionable decisions. Aside from the barrage of turnovers (Williams has four picks, while Mayfield has two), both are completing under 60% of their passes.

The Bears pass defense, which just got Jeffery Simmons, has been on quite a roll of late. They have now gotten four interceptions in their last three games after recording just two picks in their first six. With Caleb Williams having a rough game, the Bears D may need to make a few more plays in order to overcome the plucky Buccaneers on Sunday night.
