Bears rookie cornerback Kyler Gordon has been a takeaway machine since his return to the lineup after missing two games with a concussion.
Gordon, who accounted for two takeaways in last week’s loss to the Eagles, picked off Bills quarterback Josh Allen in the second quarter to prevent a Buffalo drive from ending in points.
It was Gordon’s second consecutive game with an interception, giving him three picks on the year.

Gordon, the Bears’ top draft selection, got off to a rough start in his rookie season. He was repeatedly picked on by opposing quarterbacks, including Aaron Rodgers. But once Gordon got more comfortable, things started to click.
“Just being out for those two, three weeks, I was just itching to play the entire time so just really wanted to touch the football and do something,” Gordon said earlier this week. “But being able to be out there and make those plays, it’s energizing, it’s fun and exciting and just something I want to keep repeating over and over again.”
Gordon is getting his wish.
