CHICAGO - All-purpose threat Cordarrelle Patterson's seventh career kickoff return touchdown couldn't have come at a better time for the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
The New Orleans Saints had just jumped out to a 9-0 first quarter lead when Patterson fielded a kickoff 2 yards deep in his own end zone and outraced the Saints coverage unit 102 yards for a touchdown.
That marked Patterson's first kickoff return touchdown as a member of the Bears but the third time he's taken a kickoff return for a touchdown at Soldier Field, which is the only NFL stadium where Patterson has scored multiple return touchdowns.
