Bears defensive back Kyler Gordon was hit with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty during Week 12’s Monday Night Football matchup against the Vikings after he was spotted removing his helmet following an interception by Chicago safety Jaylon Johnson.
As it turns out, Gordon’s face mask was broken during the play, prompting the 23-year-old to remove his helmet.
Referees didn’t seem to realize that his face mask had become dislodged, and despite him lifting his helmet in the air to show that to the officials, they still docked Chicago 15 yards.
