The Chicago Bears defense have been takeaway machines since the arrival of star defensive end Montez Sweat, and they’ve been on an absolute tear against the Cleveland Browns.
Quarterback Joe Flacco tossed three interceptions in the first three quarters, including picks by safety Eddie Jackson and linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, which led to 14 points.
Rookie cornerback Tyrique Stevenson was the latest defender to add his name to the list, coming away with a crucial interception of Flacco as the Browns offense was threatening to score.
Bears wide receiver Trent Taylor had muffed a punt that was recovered by Cleveland, setting the Browns offense up at Chicago’s 20-yard line. One play later, Stevenson picked off Flacco to prevent what could’ve been a touchdown for tight end David Njoku.

It was Stevenson’s second interception of the season. He picked off Lions quarterback Jared Goff back in Week 11.
