The Carolina Panthers had a great first preseason game, defeating the Chicago Bears by a 23-13 score. They played well in many facets of the game. At the very least, it was a great starting point, as the Carolina Panthers look to turn the page on last season. So far, so good. For what it’s worth, the Carolina Panthers certainly passed the eye test on Thursday.
For some players, it was about ironing out the nerves. For others, it was more a refresher of things they learned last year. For others, particularly the rookies, it was a chance to show what they can do.
