How did the Chicago Bear cornerbacks play against the New York Jets?

When you face a quarterback who completes 14 passes for 153 yards in the entire game, you are going to have a good chance to win the game and boost your defensive stats. However, Deontay Burnett did have four receptions for 61 yards. How did that happen and who boosted and saw struggles because of that?

As always, we do our weekly cornerback report with updated stats throughout the season.

Kyle Fuller: 2-4, 43 yards

Season to date: 25-43, 393, Four Touchdowns, Three Interceptions 9.1 yards per target

Kyle Fuller mistimed his jump in a chance to land an interception, and it led to a Burnett reception deep down the field. Otherwise, he was hardly targeted. One of the incompletions was a throwaway where he was the closest defender.

Prince Amukamara: 3-3, 32 yards

Season to date: 14-27, 232 One Touchdown, One interception, 8.6 yards per target

Amukamara gave up a catch to Jermaine Kearse, Charone Peake, and Deontay Burnett. Compared to his typical performances this actually could be considered a down game for Amukamara, although no real damage was done.

Bryce Callahan: 1-6, four yards

Season to date: 24-34, 247 yards, Two Interception, 7.3 yards per target

Bryce Callahan was electric in this game. Early on, he broke up a pass over the middle with a great recovery burst. He was shut down in the passing game, and the Jets continued to attack him. This helped play a factor in the poor passing day for Sam Darnold and the Jets.

Sherrick McManis Season to date: 4-6, 41 yards, One TD One InterceptionKevin Toliver Season to date: 9-13, 125 yards, 9.6 yards per target

Safety

Eddie Jackson 1-4 seven yards

Season to date: 8-16, 120 yards, Two Touchdown, One Interception, 7.5 yards per target

Eddie Jackson gave up a reception and also had a penalty. However, his overall day was good in coverage. As a deep field safety, he was able to step in and shorten the field.

Adrian Amos 0-2

Season to date: 11-17 115 yards, 6.8 yards per target

Linebackers

Roquan Smith 3-5 27 yards

Season to Date: Season to date: 22-33, 158 yards, Two Touchdown, 4.8 yards per target

Roquan Smith continues to have the best yards per target allowed total. His closing speed makes this no surprise.

Danny Trevathan 2-4, 21 yards, One Touchdown

Season to Date: 16-21, 226 yard, Two Touchdown, One Interception 10.8 yards per target

Trevathan gave up a touchdown to Chris Herndon. Herndon ran a deep out towards the end zone, and sideline and Darnold squeezed the ball in between the two as Dann Trevathan had inside leverage. It was a strong pass from Darnold.
