The Cleveland Browns and the Chicago Bears go into the halfway stage of their match all square at 10-10.

The Chicago Bears scored a late touchdown to go into the halfway stage of their match against the Cleveland Browns locked at 10-10.

The hosts were first to register on the scoreboard, doing so midway through the opening quarter when Billy Cundiff successfully kicked a 35-yard field goal.

The Bears took until the start of the second quarter to respond, with Robbie Gould slotting over a 23-yard field goal to draw things level once again.

A mistake from returning quarterback Jay Cutler allowed the Browns to regain the lead as he missed his target with a pass, giving Tashaun Gipson the chance to intercept and return it 44 yards for a touchdown.

Cutler atoned for his error at the end of the half, however, finding Brandon Marshall at the front of the endzone with a five-yard pass to restore parity.
