Eddie Jackson – Noteworthy
S Eddie Jackson leads the NFL with four defensive touchdowns over the last two seasons. He already led before his 27-yard interception return for a touchdown against the Vikings. No one else has had more than two in the past two seasons. Jackson is the first player since at least 1930 to have a fumble recovery for a TD and an interception return for a TD in consecutive seasons.
Kevin White – Noteworthy
WR Kevin White was a healthy scratch again Sunday, the third straight game the Bears’ top pick in the 2016 draft has been inactive. “Kevin has been outstanding as far as where he’s at mentally and how he’s handled this situation — I mean that,” coach Matt Nagy said. “Two weeks ago, when we decided to make the move to deactivate him, we had a good long sit-down talk and that’s just what I believe in. We were very honest with each other. We talked. He understands. He knows what I’m looking for. I know where he’s coming from. And you work through it. To Kevin’s credit, he’s been awesome.”
Tarik Cohen – Noteworthy
RB Tarik Cohen has become the second player in NFL history to gain 500-plus yards by rushing, receiving and returning punts and kickoffs in his first 25 games. Mack Herron of the Patriots (1973-74) was the first.
