Bortles continues to develop into a legitimate NFL quarterback but he’s inconsistent with how he protects the football. He’s had games this season where he didn’t throw any interceptions, but threw as many as three in a game as well.

The Bears don’t force a ton of turnovers, but they will manage to wrangle themselves a couple of interceptions on Sunday. The Bears corners are playing better and having tighter coverage on the football. That’s going to create a couple of opportunities for turnovers when Bortles forces the ball into coverage.

I expect one of the front seven to grab an interception on a short pass (probably Jerrell Freeman) and expect Bryce Callahan to get off the cuff and get an interception in this game as well.
