CLEVELAND — The Chicago Bears‘ defense accomplished what the offense couldn’t to start the second half of a Week 15 showdown against the Cleveland Browns.
After the Bears went three-and-out to open the third quarter, linebacker T.J. Edwards popped the ball loose from Browns receiver Cedric Tillman‘s grasp on a throw made over the middle of the field. Fellow Bears linebacker Tremaine Edmunds was just steps behind and in position to grab the loose ball out of the air and run 45 yards for a touchdown.
EDMUNDS PICK 6!!

Edmunds’ pick-six gave the Bears a 14-7 lead with 14:01 to play in the third quarter. It was the second interception of the afternoon for the Bears’ defense, which is now tied with San Francisco with a league-best 17 on the season.
