The Chicago Bears have made a statement that they are in the hunt in the NFC North division race. The Bears did so with a 17-3 victory over the Carolina Panthers. The win allowed the Bears to improve their record to 3-4. The Chicago Bears’ three victories matches their entire win total from the 2016 season.
The Bears defeating the Panthers was not improbable. According to Odd Shark, the Bears opened the week as a three-point underdog versus the Panthers. It shrunk to 2.5 points headed into the game.
It was reported by Pro Football Talk that the Carolina Panthers were going to be playing without their best defender, Luke Kuechly. However, not having Kuechly did not make much of a difference for the Panthers, who out-gained the Bears (courtesy of ESPN) on offense by 140 yards. Unfortunately, for the Panthers, they could not get into the end zone against and opportunistic Chicago Bears’ defensive unit.
