Sweat pressured Panthers QB Bryce Young four times in the Bears’ 16-13 win.

New Bears defensive end Montez Sweat barely had time to get the WiFi password at Halas Hall before rushing into a stretch of two games in five days. The extended break after the Panthers game gave him a chance to catch up.

Sweat used at least part of his free weekend to study the scheme, and coach Matt Eberflus said he’s put in extra time with defensive line coaches Travis Smith and Justin Hinds.

“They’ve been doing everything to catch him up, and he’s done a good job with that,” Eberflus said Monday.
