Bears rookie cornerback Kyler Gordon (6) returns an interception 36 yards against the Bills last week. Gordon has three interceptions this season, two of them in the last two games.

The Bears’ defense has been in a season-long funk where every little mistake is costly. But against the Bills last week, rookie cornerback Kyler Gordon made one misplay right.

Gordon’s interception of quarterback Josh Allen at the goal line and 36-yard return momentarily took the Bears out of trouble in the second quarter, and was a stroke of good fortune. The Bears didn’t pay for a mistake.
