You don’t expect the preseason opener to be a tone-setter. But it sure seemed like that when Bears cornerback Kyler Gordon immediately excited the Soldier Field crowd with a couple of hard-thumping hits that jarred the ball loose from Titans wide receiver Chris Moore in a seven-play span on the opening drive Saturday.
The first one came on a 30-yard pass play from Malik Willis to Moore on the first play from scrimmage — the whistle blowing the play dead to negate the fumble. The next one was ruled an incompletion when replays indicated Moore never had full possession of the ball.
