Heading into Monday night’s game, the Chicago Bears had scored just seven points in the third quarter all season. Cordarrelle Patterson changed that with a momentum-changing kick return to open the second half.
Just when the Bears needed a spark, Patterson delivered with a 104-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to give the Bears a 13-7 lead.

That was the eighth kickoff-return touchdown of Patterson’s career, which tied him with Josh Cribbs and Leon Washington for the all-time lead.
Patterson’s 104-yard kickoff return is the longest in Bears history, surpassing Gale Sayers’ 103-yarder against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 17, 1967.
The Bears lead 13-10 in the third quarter.
