Bears rookie cornerback Kyler Gordon had his “welcome to the NFL” game in Sunday night’s loss to the Packers.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers targeted Gordon early and often, as he should’ve, during the game, and it was just a brutal outing by Chicago’s top rookie draft pick.
Gordon allowed 10 catches on 13 targets for 162 yards and a touchdown against the Packers. And it’s certainly a performance he’d like to forget.
So what was coach Matt Eberflus’ advice to the young rookie after getting cooked by Rodgers?
“It’s everything I say to every young player that I’ve ever played that’s gone through these moments: There’s going to be ebb and flow over the course of a rookie season, and that’s the way it is,” Eberflus said, via Sun-Times.
