The Bears had three interceptions against Lions quarterback Jared Goff, who came into Sunday’s game at Ford Field with just five interceptions in 326 pass attempts — third-lowest interception percentage (1.5) in the NFL. But they could have had more. Cornerback Jaylon Johnson lamented two missed opportunities for interceptions that he could have returned for touchdowns in the Bears’ stunning 31-26 loss.

“Definitely had a shot at both. I should have capitalized,” Johnson said. “I had two opportunities to put 14 points on the board. Gotta finish those better. Not easy catches but I’m a player that can make those plays and I’ve got to do it.”
