Bears' T.J. Edwards Reveals What He Heard Listening to Eagles Huddle Moments Before Interception
Edwards said he heard no familiar language from the Eagles huddle after his interception helped Chicago seal a 27-7 win.
Chicago Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards intercepted a pass from Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts at Soldier Field on Monday, a play that helped seal a 27-7 win after Edwards appeared to listen in on the Eagles huddle moments before the snap.
Hoping to hear familiar signals from his former team, Edwards approached the Eagles huddle but later denied learning anything, stating the Eagles changed their language since his departure from the organization.
Hurts finished with only 153 passing yards during the 27-7 loss, while Chicago improved to 2-1 on the season and Philadelphia fell to 2-1 following the defeat.
Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team noted the unusual sequence on social media Monday night, while fans speculated Edwards gained a tactical advantage from his eavesdropping attempt.
Future games may feature increased caution from quarterbacks protecting play calls from lurking defenders, as NFL players balance the competitive need for slight advantages with the scrutiny of such high-profile, on-field actions.
