It was another grueling, up-and-down matchup as the Bears defeated the Panthers on the road 23-16 on Sunday.
With the win, the Bears improved to 5-1 on the 2020 season. Their defense showed up in a big way, notching four sacks, two interceptions and a forced fumble. While the offense wasn’t nearly as good, it showed just enough life to pick up the win.
The Panthers won the time of possession, having the ball for 31:06 as opposed to the Bears’ 28:54. They also outgained Chicago 303 total yards to 261 yards and had 23 first down to the Bears’ 22.
