Bears defense wary but confident vs. Trevor Lawrence

When Bears safety Kevin Byard played against Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence in 2021 with the Titans, Lawrence threw four interceptions in a 20-0 loss.

The next time he faced Lawrence, in 2022, Lawrence threw for 368 yards and three touchdown passes in a 36-22 victory.

“He’s kind of streaky that way,” Byard said. “But there’s a reason why they made him the No. 1 overall pick [in the 2021 draft] and paid him the money.”

Well, sometimes there is and sometimes there isn’t.
