New England Patriots linebacker Anfernee Jennings was having fun against the Chicago Bears on a day when the defense ruled. The defense recorded nine sacks and 13 quarterback hits on the afternoon.
Jennings had a stellar day, recording four tackles and two sacks on the afternoon. He helped lead the charge for a unit that was all over Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams from start to finish. In many ways, it was a return to form for the Patriots defense.
Cameras caught the end of one play where Jennings had a huge grin on his face while helping a hopeless-looking Williams off the ground. He continued to smile and gave Williams a pat on the helmet after helping him up.

The sack and smile were a microcosm of what was a celebratory day for the Patriots.
They picked up their third win of the season and established their dominance on defense. The team still has work to do, but Sunday was a step in the right direction.
