That’s one way to score in the third quarter.
Cordarrelle Patterson matched the Bears’ season-long scoring total in the third quarter Monday night when he returned the opening kickoff for a 104-yard touchdown to give the Bears a 13-7 lead.
Patterson’s eighth career kickoff return for a touchdown puts him in a three-way tie — along with Josh Cribbs and Leon Washington, who are both retired — for the most in the modern history of the sport.
Patterson caught the ball in the north end zone standing on the second “C” in “CHICAGO,” ran up the middle and broke toward the right sideline.
