WATCH: Bears LB Micah Baskerville takes an interception back for a touchdown

A lot of hype surrounds the Chicago Bears on the offensive side of the ball, particularly with the arrival of rookie quarterback Caleb Williams. But don't forget about the defense and their ability to make big plays. From top to bottom, they have players who can stand out and change the game in the blink of an eye.

That was the case early in the fourth quarter against the Buffalo Bills. Reserve linebacker Micah Baskerville picked off a pass by Bills QB Shane Buechele, jumping in front of the throw intended for Franke Gore Jr. Baskerville made a nice move to avoid tacklers and run it back to the endzone for the Bears touchdown.

This beautiful play made it 19-6 in favor of the Bears, although Cairo Santos missed the extra point due to a bad snap. Players of Baskerville's status are counting on big plays to stand out if they want to make the team. Thivwas a good one for him.
