The Carolina Panthers faced a difficult defeat against the Chicago Bears, falling 36-10 on Sunday. The game was highlighted by Chicago’s efficient offense led by rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, who threw for 304 yards and two touchdowns. Former Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore tormented his old team with 105 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
The Panthers struggled offensively, managing only 292 total yards. Andy Dalton threw for 136 yards but failed to find the end zone, along with one interception. The Panthers’ lone touchdown came on the ground, but turnovers proved costly, with Carolina committing three, including two lost fumbles and one interception.
Defensively, the Panthers allowed 424 yards of total offense, including 128 rushing yards, and could not slow down Chicago’s attack in the red zone, where the Bears converted three touchdowns on four attempts. Head coach Dave Canales expressed his frustration postgame, stating, “We have to execute better in key moments. Too many mistakes.” This defeat marks another rough outing for the 1-4 Panthers as they look to rebound next week.
