It hasn’t always been pretty for the Bears this year, and it wasn’t today, either. But Chicago is 5-1.
Today the Bears beat the Panthers 23-16 despite Nick Foles managing just 198 yards on 39 pass attempts, and the running game averaging just 2.5 yards per carry. But the Bears’ defense shut down Teddy Bridgewater and Mike Davis, and that was enough.
Chicago took an early lead and never looked back, and although the Panthers made a game of it late in the fourth quarter, they weren’t able to do enough.
