Posted October 22, 2017 1:00 am
The Chicago Bears faced off against the Carolina Panthers in the rain defeating them 17-3 on Sunday at Soldier Field in Chicago.
Chicago Bears free safety Eddie Jackson returned a fumble for a 75-yard touchdown and later returned an interception for 76-yard TD.
Jackson is the first player in NFL history with multiple 75-plus-yard TD returns in the same game.
The defense dominated Panther quarterback Cam Newton sacking him 5 times.
The Bears' offense didn't contribute much to the game, but the team has gotten back-to-back wins for the first time since 2015, and their record is 3-4 for the season.
