Chicago Bears Lead NFL With 14 Interceptions in 2024
Bears' Defense Steps Up in Win Over Bills
Interceptions Key to Bears' Success
The Chicago Bears are leading the NFL with 14 interceptions through the first three weeks of the 2024 season. The Bears' defense has been a key factor in the team's 2-1 start, as they have forced turnovers at critical moments in each of their wins.
In Sunday's 26-21 victory over the Buffalo Bills, safety Eddie Jackson picked off Bills quarterback Josh Allen twice, including a game-sealing interception in the end zone with just over two minutes remaining. The Bears also forced two turnovers in their season-opening win over the San Francisco 49ers, and they picked off Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff twice in their Week 2 loss.
The Bears' defense is led by a talented group of young players, including Jackson, cornerback Jaylon Johnson, and linebacker Roquan Smith. The unit is also benefiting from the leadership of new defensive coordinator Alan Williams, who has brought a more aggressive scheme to Chicago.
The Bears' success on defense has been a major factor in their early-season success. The team has been able to generate turnovers and put pressure on opposing quarterbacks, which has led to several key victories.
