CHICAGO (AP) — Led by Zyon McCollum and Alex Anzalone, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have an NFL-best 16 interceptions.
Turning those plays into wins is an ongoing challenge.
Tampa Bay had four interceptions for the second straight week Sunday night. But the Buccaneers lost 27-24 on Cairo Santos' 38-yard field goal for the Bears on the final play of the game.
Ifeatu Melifonwu also recovered a fumble for Tampa Bay in the fourth quarter. But the Bucs only managed 11 points off those five turnovers, and Jaylon Johnson returned Baker Mayfield's interception for a touchdown for the Bears.
“We’ve got to capitalize on them,” coach Todd Bowles said of the turnovers. “We’ve got to score points, and we can’t give the ball back. We’ve got to be better on third down on both sides of the ball.”
McCollum and Anzalone lead the Buccaneers (3-6) with four interceptions apiece. McCollum has picked off four passes in the last three games. Anzalone has three interceptions in the last two games.
Tykee Smith also picked off Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams. But the Bucs went 2 for 12 on third down, compared to 7 for 13 for the Bears. And the Bucs were unable to stop Williams and Co. in the final minutes.
“Five (takeaways) is a lot,” Mayfield said. “Got to have more points off of those, and not just field goals, touchdowns. Got to be able to finish with seven down there.”
The last team to record four-plus interceptions in consecutive games was the Baltimore Ravens in September 2017.
Tampa Bay had won three of four, including a 16-0 victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8. It has at least one interception in eight of its nine games this season.
Chicago was driving in the second quarter when Smith picked off Williams at the Tampa Bay 3 and returned the ball to the 26.
Mayfield was stuffed on fourth-and-1 at the 35 on the ensuing possession, but McCollum intercepted Williams on the next play. The Bucs ended up punting the ball away on the resulting possession.
Tampa Bay turned McCollum's second interception into Chase McLaughlin's 21-yard field goal on the final play of the first half.
“He fought," Bowles said about McCollum. "Like I said, the biggest thing that we talk about is the turnovers every day. If we get the turnovers, we’ve got to cash them in and Zyon got two of them.”
Following Williams' fourth interception, this one by Anzalone, Mayfield threw a pick-6 to Johnson that gave the Bears a 24-13 lead with 3:39 left in the third quarter.
“He had his mind made up, probably should’ve thrown it somewhere else," Bowles said. “That’s easy to say in hindsight.”

KRAKOW, Poland (AP) — Poland was in shock after a weekend mass shooting in which a gunman opened fire, killing six people and wounding 15 in the city of Krakow before police shot and wounded him.
The shooter died in the hospital on Monday morning, police said. The man had been in critical condition and had had several surgeries.
Authorities have said he held far-right views, but it was not disclosed whether he was affiliated with any organized extremist group. Prosecutors said they are investigating the shooting as a terrorist offense.
Police have also found the bodies of the suspect's parents and sister at the family's home.
Here is what we know about the mass killing that marked a grim first in modern-day Poland:
Police say the 24-year-old attacker, wearing military-style clothing and a bulletproof vest, drove into the city's Main Square and opened fire on Saturday. The square, in Krakow’s Old Town, is a major tourist destination in Poland’s second-largest city.
What unfolded was a scene of chaos and terror. Videos posted on social media show people running away from the square into narrow streets nearby, as well as first responders trying to resuscitate victims.
Even after he was wounded by police officers, the attacker continued firing, Krakow police spokesperson Katarzyna Cisło said.
Four women and two men were killed in the square.
Three of the women and one man were Polish, Krzysztof Jan Klęczar, the Malopolska regional governor, said on Sunday. A man from the United Kingdom and a woman from Austria were also among the dead. The wounded included people from Britain, Portugal, Russia, Germany and Austria.
The two police officers who stopped the gunman, in actions authorities described as heroic, remained in the hospital. They were both conscious, with one emerging from a coma on Sunday afternoon.
After the shooting, authorities on Saturday night paused St. Mary’s Trumpet Call — a traditional five-note melody that is played every hour from the highest tower of St. Mary’s Basilica on Main Square — in tribute to the victims.
It was the first time the call had been missed since World War II.
On Sunday afternoon, St. Anne’s Church in Krakow filled with mourners attending a service for the victims.
The square reopened Sunday evening with mourners gathering to lay flowers and candles in honor of the victims.
Police have not released the name of the 24-year-old attacker, a Polish national.
Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński described his views as radical and ultranationalist, and said evidence indicated he had a fascination with far-right ideologies.
Prosecutors said they had opened an investigation into murder and attempted murder, including attacks on police officers, describing the shooting as a terrorist offense.
At the suspect's home in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, about 150 kilometers (93 miles) northeast of Krakow, authorities said they discovered three bodies. Police identified them as the suspect's parents and sister. They said the three likely died from gunshot wounds.
The suspect’s dead sibling was a young artist studying at the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts, which confirmed that Magdalena Oksińska was a third-year student.
“Magdalena Oksińska, 21 years old, a queer person, was an absolutely talented painter, photographer, poet and writer,” architect Pavko Krajka wrote on social media, in a post accompanied by images of the artist’s paintings. “Her death is a great loss for Krakow, Polish, European and queer culture.”
Police found four firearms at the scene of the attack. They were recovered from the attacker or from his car.
Klęczar said the attacker’s father legally owned more than 10 guns and that the attacker also owned firearms. Local officials said seven weapons were also seized from the family home, bringing the total number of firearms recovered to 11.
The Swit shooting club in Starachowice, where the attacker is believed to have trained, issued a statement Sunday saying it offered only “static shooting,” which involves firing from a fixed position at a stationary target.
The suspect, it said, “was never trained in our club in the areas of dynamic, tactical or combat shooting.”
Mass shootings are uncommon in Poland, a country of 37 million people where about 411,000 people hold gun permits. Interest in gun ownership has been rising.
Kacper Rekawek, a researcher at the International Center for Counterterrorism in The Hague, Netherlands, said the attack resembled incidents of far-right “lone wolf” attacks in Europe over the past years.
