Mel Tucker: 'Josh Gordon has big-play ability'

Mel Tucker has praised Josh Gordon's "big-play ability" ahead of the Chicago Bears' game against the Cleveland Browns later today.

Gordon has been the NFL's leading wide receiver in recent weeks, recording 774 receiving yards in his last four games, as well as scoring five touchdowns.

The Bears' defensive coordinator told the team's official website: "He has big-play ability. He has a large catch radius. He's fast. He can take a five-yard slant and turn it into a 60-yard touchdown.

"Just really he's playing with a lot of confidence. The quarterbacks have confidence in him to go up and make plays.

"He can catch the ball in a crowd and win the contested one-on-one battle. He's a really good player."

The Browns head into the game on a four-match losing streak, while the Bears must win to keep the pressure on NFC North leaders the Detroit Lions.
