Bears defensive end Trevis Gipson (99) doesn’t back down from Bills right tackle Spencer Brown (79) during a chippy moment in the Bears’ 35-13 loss to the Bills on Saturday at Soldier Field.

A year ago, Trevis Gipson was a bright spot in the dreadful conclusion to an awful Bears season. He had four of his seven sacks in the final five games and three of his five forced fumbles in the final two.

And the coaching change that ensued seemed like a boon for Gipson — moving from an outside linebacker in Sean Desai’s 3-4 defense to his more comfortable defensive end position in Matt Eberflus’ 4-3 alignment.
