Tremble caught a pass from quarterback Andy Dalton and was running up the field when he was hit by Brisker. The safety lowered his shoulder and Tremble lowered his head. The two collided and the tight end fell to the ground. The ball came loose and the Bears recovered.

Tremble has seven catches for 59 yards in four games this season. In 53 career games, he had 69 catches for 607 yards and seven touchdowns. The fourth-year tight end was a third-round pick by the Panthers against Notre Dame.
