With the Chicago Bears’ “C” on his helmet and a captain “C” on his jersey, Jaylon Johnson’s pregame message for his team was simple: “Be somebody.” On Sept. 8, 2024, he decided to be the game’s closer. Preserving the Bears’ one-touchdown lead in the final minute, the Pro Bowl cornerback kept step-for-step with Tennessee’s receiver before undercutting his downfield route for a game-winning interception. Johnson’s clutch demonstration helped Chicago finish its come-from-behind, 24-17 win in style, as he provided three tackles (two for a loss), one interception (for nine yards), and a 0.0 passer rating allowed when targeted.
