Josh Gordon was on the ground for the final photo Sunday afternoon. He was in the game to go deep.
But the former first All-Pro team, acquired by the New England Patriots just five weeks ago, was not trying to get to the end zone with a second to play.
Gordon was trying instead to prevent the Chicago Bears from participating.
The 10th was cited as the last 6-foot-3, 225-pound defensive line against the Hail Mary ball that left quarterback Mitchell Trubisky in Chicago.of the own line of 38 yards. He had been called to jump while his Patriots teammates were on the ground.
And jump Gordon did. Just above the shoulders of Kevin White.
The latter still caught him.
"Too many people around the ball at a time trying to figure out what's going on," Gordon said at his post-game press conference. "I wanted to catch him. Someone else wanted to catch him. Push and pull and everything like that. He finished with that. It was really a beautiful piece for him.
But the tacklers have invaded White. Progress is stopped. And the bears had been too.
It was a 54-yard pass as Chicago needed 55 – and a 38-31 Patriot victory over Soldier Field, who was also out of overtime.

Gordon did more than play a little security in the process.
The wide receiver finished the first win of the season in New England on the road with four receptions for his first 100-yard game since his expedition by the Cleveland Browns on Sept. 17.
Among them was a 55-yard scamper in the fourth quarter that brought New England to Chicago. Gordon came out of a pair of tackles and admitted that his gas lamp was on well before it was brought to the grass.
"But you know, it was fun. It was great, "said Gordon. "I'm happy to have touched the ball successfully and to have made things happen."
The last touchdown of New England followed soon after.
Previously, there had been a 19-yard rush – and the removal of the helmet – that had been removed by Gordon on the right and fourth in the second quarter. And in the morningof the In the first quarter, there was also a 20-yard pickup to heal the 10 unanswered points of the Bears.
These pieces are the next steps in a role that continues to grow.
A role that grows faster than maybe even New England"The quarterback could have predicted.
"We are going to continue to build our trust in each other," said Tom Brady, who had targeted Gordon seven times, "and he did great games as soon as I kicked him. just have to keep doing it. "
Gordon had played only 11 games for Cleveland over the last four seasons. He has now played four games with New England and has started each of those victories. He counted 13 receptions for 224 yards. He also caught the touchdown pass of Brady's 500th career.

And after playing 36 shots in total during his initial two competitions in the Patriots' uniform, Gordon recorded north of 60 shots back to back on Sunday.
Such volume was needed during a game in Chicago where the Patriots had entered without Rob Gronkowski due to back and ankle injuries, and were coming out without the Sony Michel running back following a knee injury.
"He works extremely hard," said captain James White, captain and team captain, Gordon. "He buys, he's just paying attention to everything the coaches have talked to him about, and he's playing hard and playing great games for us."
A fifth-round pick in the 2019 project was what Cleveland had reunited in exchange for Gordon. The 27-year-old arrived in New England with a seventh future and a cap of $ 697,060.
Gordon was quick to unpack his luggage.
Or, do a little more than the job description for a team that now stands at 5-2.
