CLEVELAND — A dominant Browns defense, combined with wet weather, has made for one of the ugliest first-half Bears offensive showings all year.

Their own stout defense has kept them in the game, though; the Bears and Browns are tied at 7 at halftime Sunday.

Quarterback Justin Fields went 12-for-21 for 101 yards, one touchdown and one interception. The pick came on a Hail Mary that Fields threw into the end zone as the half ended.

Bears safety Eddie Jackson, who told the Sun-Times earlier this week he was “licking my chops” to intercept Browns quarterback Joe Flacco, did just that about two minutes into the second quarter.
