A disappointing Week 6 loss to the Chicago Bears could be the wake-up call that the Carolina Panthers needed following a three-game winning run.

All the hype surrounding the Carolina Panthers in recent weeks came crashing back down to earth in Week 6. They were unable to replicate their impressive displays of late that eventually saw them beaten 23-16 by the Chicago Bears at Bank of America Stadium.

This was the toughest defense the Carolina Panthers have come up against this season. The Bears are relentless in pursuit of the quarterback and their physical tackling was another big deciding factor in the overall outcome.
