Terrell Lewis has only been active for a few games after starting the year on the non-football injury list, and his impact has been almost non-existent. But he made his presence felt on Monday night against the Bears with a huge tackle on fourth down.
The Bears were in desperation mode and attempted a pitch to Cordarrelle Patterson, but Lewis wasn’t going to let him turn the corner. He shed his blocker and got to Patterson, blowing up the ball carrier for an outstanding stop short of the sticks.
