The Chicago Bears defense was already owning Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills. A Nathan Peterman pick-six to Leonard Floyd only added to the domination.

There was a lot of contact on the play. But the officials ruled that because Kyle Fuller contacted Zay Jones at the line of scrimmage, so there was no interference. Therefore, the interception stood.
“The contact by the defender in #CHIvsBUF occurs within one yard of the line of scrimmage. Therefore, this is legal contact and not pass interference.” -AL pic.twitter.com/weJJiE3rJs

Not everyone agreed.
That was 100% pass interference on Kyle Fuller. These refs are awful.

Twitter had a lot to say about the wild play.
It took almost an entire half for Nathan Peterman to throw a pick-6! He's grown so much!

Nathan Peterman pick 6. Never saw that coming.

I was about to tweet “why drop Leonard Floyd into coverage” and a second later he gets the interception. Leonard Floyd has officially more interceptions and touchdowns than sacks. #Bears

Credit for two of the Bears' interceptions goes to Kyle Fuller today. He's gotten into the two receivers to trigger the ball getting deflected and intercepted. #Bears

These picks aren’t even Nathan Peterman’s fault, he just exudes interception

It was Chicago’s second defensive touchdown of the game and quarter.
