Heading into Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team has three secondary players who are sharing the top spots in the total interceptions category. However, star cornerback Nashshon Wright pulled off an epic pick of Mason Rudolph, snatching a pass that has now put him at the top of the league with five picks.

Rudolph attempted a sideline pass when Wright jumped up and grabbed the ball, landing with his body in bounds to count the interception. With this fantastic turnover, Wright now has five interceptions this season.
Wright's five interceptions now tie first-place safety Kevin Byard III, who also has five interceptions. Right behind them both is linebacker Tremaine Edwards, who also has four interceptions.

It is a rare thing to have a defensive player leading the league in interceptions. It is even rarer that a single team has multiple players, let alone three. The Bears' defense continues to match the high level of the offense, and this Chicago team could be dangerous down the stretch.
What is the Score of the Bears and Steelers Game?
Chicago pulled off a touchdown from the interception, as Williams threw a dart to DJ Moore for the score. At the time of this writing, the Bears lead the way 7-0.
The Bears are 7-3 on the season, and are in first place in the NFC North. Should the team pull off a win against the Steelers, they will be in a comfortable lead in the division.
With the way the defense has been playing, it appears a win might come by the end of this game.
