It is a rare thing to have a defensive player leading the league in interceptions. It is even rarer that a single team has multiple players, let alone three. The Bears' defense continues to match the high level of the offense, and this Chicago team could be dangerous down the stretch.
What is the Score of the Bears and Steelers Game?
Chicago pulled off a touchdown from the interception, as Williams threw a dart to DJ Moore for the score. At the time of this writing, the Bears lead the way 7-0.
The Bears are 7-3 on the season, and are in first place in the NFC North. Should the team pull off a win against the Steelers, they will be in a comfortable lead in the division.
With the way the defense has been playing, it appears a win might come by the end of this game.
