Bears defensive end Rasheem Green (94) sacks Panthers quarterback Bryce Young in the Beasr’ 16-13 victory last Thursday night at Soldier Field. The Bears sacked Young three times.

Like every other player on the Bears’ defense, safety Eddie Jackson was feeling it after a standout performance in a 16-13 victory over the Panthers last Thursday night at Soldier Field.

The Bears held the Panthers to 213 yards and 3.7 yards per play — including just 43 rushing yards on 16 carries. They sacked rookie quarterback Bryce Young three times — pretty good for them — and held the Panthers to 3-of-15 third-down conversions (20%).
