TAMPA -- Following his sack of Bears quarterback Jay Cutler that he shared with Robert Ayers in the third quarter, defensive tackle Gerald McCoy froze for several seconds, remaining motionless in his own personal Mannequin Challenge.

For the first time in weeks, the Bucs defense was anything but sedentary, forcing four turnovers, including intercepting Cutler twice and forcing two fumbles in a 36-10 win over the Bears at Raymond James Stadium.
