The Kansas City Chiefs got off to a great start in their Week 5 matchup against the New Orleans Saints on “Monday Night Football” when third-year safety Bryan Cook intercepted quarterback Derek Carr on the game’s first drive.
Carr faced pressure from Kansas City’s ferocious pass rush and had to heave the ball downfield in an effort to escape a sack.
Cook, an avid ballhawk, lept into the air to intercept the pass and was ruled down by contact despite his attempt at a return.
Check out this video of Cook’s highlight-reel play, which was posted to Twitter by the Chiefs’ official account:

Kansas City’s offense was led downfield by Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Kareem Hunt on the Chiefs’ possession, and Cook’s outstanding effort seems to have sparked something in the defending Super Bowl champions.
Stay tuned to the game to see if Cook can come down with another interception.
