Matt Eberflus praised his rookie defensive player
The Chicago Bears lost another heartbreaker Thursday night, falling to the Washington Commanders 12-7 and moving to 2-4 on the season. It was a game with few positives for the Bears, however, one noteworthy impact player was rookie CB Kyler Gordon stacking his second straight impressive start in a row.
Indeed, here is what Larry Mayer reported:
The Bears' top pick in this year's draft has struggled at times early in his first NFL season, but Gordon showed improvement Thursday night. The second-round selection registered six tackles and one pass breakup, though he also drew a 17-yard pass interference penalty in the game.
"We know it's a learning process with a younger player," Eberflus said. "We know they are going to go through some ups and downs and some ins and outs as you go.
"For example, Kyler Gordon, you look at the way he played last night, well, he played pretty good, didn't he? So he's had a couple ups and downs during the [season], but he has stayed the course with his eyes and vision forward to improve. He made a lot of nice tackles, made a lot of nice plays on the ball, and I thought he played really well."
