The first sign of friction in the Bears’ 36-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday came midway through the third quarter when Bears quarterback Caleb Williams scrambled 10 yards on third-and-eight and took a hard shot out of bounds.
Williams kept the drive alive by running up the right sideline and reached the Panthers 2-yard line when he leaped out of bounds to avoid getting hit by two defenders. As he sailed through the air, though, Panthers safety Nick Scott jumped from the goal line and drilled Williams in the chest with his shoulder and sent him spinning into some photographers.
