Sherrick McManis is now a seasoned NFL veteran, but he still has a nose for creating turnovers.
The former Northwestern star defensive back is now in his 10th NFL season, including his eighth with the Chicago Bears. In Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders, he came up with a crucial turnover.

With the Raiders setting up shop inside Chicago’s five-yard line, it looked like Oakland was destined for six points. But McManis turned a quick screen pass into a Bears turnover with a beautiful and perfectly executed punchout.
