Bears safety Eddie Jackson runs against the Lions.

Eddie Jackson is ready for Browns quarterback Joe Flacco to try to throw deep.

“I go in licking my chops,” the Bears’ free safety said this week. “Hey, look, that ball is going to be in the air.”

Flacco is always looking downfield. The Bears, who have forced 11 turnovers over the past three games, can’t wait to see him to do the same Sunday.

“I feel like he’s like [the Vikings’] Kirk Cousins where, if you let him sit back there and be comfortable, he’ll rip you apart,” said Jackson, who was tied for third in the NFL with four interceptions last year but has none this season.
