1. The Chicago Bears rookie Kyler Gordon needs to show growth this month

There have been some ups and downs from Kyler Gordon this season. It started with some drastic lows, but he started to find himself. Still, he has not played as well in recent weeks. Some of this could be that his best games were against Washington and New England.

When you think of them, you are not thinking of their fierce slot receivers. Then, the team played CeeDee Lamb, and things did not go as well. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jaylen Waddle, Kyle Pitts, and Drake London all have proceeded to get the better of Gordon for at least one big pass.

One area that Gordon has played well in has been his ability to tackle. He forced a punt with two strong open-field tackles against Atlanta. Still, he allowed a touchdown to London and a 20-yard gain to Pitts.

At the end of the day, you need to see your cornerback play better in coverage. He is losing to big names, but there are big names on every team in the NFL, and he cannot just rely on the bad passing attacks to perform well. This will be a huge, because going into the offseason with momentum is much different than questioning if you still have a hole in the slot.
