Tremble caught a pass from quarterback Andy Dalton and began to run up the field when he was met by Brisker. The safety lowered his shoulder and Tremble lowered his head. The two collided and the tight end went down. 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 has 69 catches for 607 yards and seven touchdowns. The fourth-year tight end was a third-round pick out of Notre Dame by the Panthers.
