He did, and along with linebacker Devin Bush, brought down MVP candidate Bijan Robinson for a 1-yard loss. Third-and-6, Gordon's time. He blitzed again, drawing a holding penalty on Robinson, who had little choice but to grab Gordon's jersey to keep him from getting to Penix -- again.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Robinson held to minimal impact against Bears' Gordon-led blitz scheme; drew holding penalty.

Robinson struggled against the Bears' defense in Week 1, particularly against Kyler Gordon's blitzing scheme. On the opening defensive play where Gordon was deployed, he and linebacker Devin Bush brought down Robinson for a 1-yard loss on third-and-4. Later, Robinson was forced to grab Gordon's jersey to prevent him from reaching quarterback Michael Penix Jr., drawing a holding penalty. The Falcons' offense was stifled overall, going 1-for-8 on third down through three quarters, with Gordon being a primary disruptor.
