WATCH: Bears CB Terell Smith flashes in front of Bengals receiver for INT

The Chicago Bears defense has put on a masterclass thus far against the Bengals, and they continue to have Cincinnati in a chokehold by forcing another takeaway.

General manager Ryan Poles looked on from the FOX press box as promising cornerback Terell Smith stepped in front of a floated pass from quarterback Logan Woodside to wide receiver Cole Burgess. Smith snagged the ball and took off down the sideline until he was pushed out of bounds well into Bengals territory. The interception was caused by a tenacious Chicago blitz that forced the Bengals' signal-caller to force the throw.

After a slow start for both teams, Chicago has dominated all aspects of the game. The interception opened up the floodgates as Chicago scored multiple times to lead 24-3 entering the fourth quarter.
