Watch DeForest Buckner secure first 49ers takeaway in two months

Remember where you were when the 49ers had their first defensive takeaway in nearly two months.

In the second quarter Sunday against the Bears, DeForest Buckner scooped up a Tarik Cohen fumble as the 49ers' defense rallied to tackle the running back.

The fumble recovery was the 49ers' first takeaway since Oct. 28 against the Cardinals. For six straight games, the defense failed to cause a turnover.
