Defensive back Jaylon Johnson posted most productive game of his career vs. Eagles in Week 15

Chicago Bears defensive back Jaylon Johnson put up the best single-game numbers of his career in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles and turned some heads with his exceptional performance. Johnson ended the game with six solo tackles, the best mark of his career so far, and an impressive three passes defensed.

The 23-year-old cornerback sits atop the Bears’ depth chart at his position beside rookie Kyler Gordon. The tandem has put together some special games over the course of the season, and showed their potential against the Eagles, holding MVP candidate quarterback Jalen Hurts to just over 300 yards and no touchdowns. Johnson was Chicago’s second-leading tackler in the game behind linebacker Nicholas Morrow, and Gordon came down with an interception.
