1. The conditions were sloppy in Sunday’s first half, and the Bears took advantage of a couple of Browns’ miscues en route to an early touchdown.
The first-quarter drive started off in favorable field position because of Tarik Cohen’s 28-yard punt return. The Bears moved quickly into Browns territory when Mitchell Trubisky rolled out and connected with tight end Dion Sims for a 24-yard gain. Faced with a second-and-14 after a botched exchange, the Bears picked up 19 yards on back-to-back scrambles. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Carl Nassib got the Bears inside the 10-yard line, and Jordan Howard finished off the nine-play drive with a 2-yard touchdown run.
