*361 passing yards, too...🙃

Pass chart looks a lot more positive compared to last season, for example - with more emphasis on throws between the hash-marks in the center of the field, rather than predominantly around the LOS under Canales' play-calling.

Bryce Young stats:

23/37 - 3TDs (1 RUSH TD) -
1 INT - 2 SACKS -
110.3 PASSER RATING

...But all that gets completely overshadowed...

Least he'll be up against his favourite team next week 😅

#Panthers #KeepPounding

Sunday was a wacky but unacceptable performance from the #Panthers, especially on defense with big-time new faces.

My instant gut reactions to the historic Week 1 loss and why Carolina has a winning offense to be excited about: catcrave.com/9-gut-reacti...

Victory #1 shot. #Bears 59- #Panthers 37. #BearDown #DaBears

Final.

Chicago Bears - 59
Carolina Panthers - 37

Very concerning...
Ejiro Evero's DEF gives up 552 yards to Caleb Williams and the Bears' OFF.

Buckle up, folks...

#Panthers #KeepPounding

The 4 teams in #NFL/AFL history that have scored 59+ points in Week 1 -- as the #Bears did today in their 59-37 fireworks show vs. the #Panthers. Nobody here went on to win the title, btw (though the '19 #Ravens did go 14-2 before getting bounced in their first playoff game).

#Panthers Week 1 RB Usage

- Chuba Hubbart: 69% snaps, 10 carries, 22 routes, 3 targets (87 yds, 2 TD)
- Jonathon Brooks: 21% snaps, 4 carries, 5 routes, 2 targets (62 yds)

Brooks had one long catch-and-run, but Chuba dominated volume

The #Bears opened a record-setting Week 1 with a huge win over the #Panthers. More here at WCG.

I have to give a shout-out to the Carolina #Panthers, who never stopped fighting against my Chicago Bears. They're a much better team than they were when they drafted Bryce Young. They're going to make life hell for the rest of the NFC South.

FINAL: #Bears 59, #Panthers 37

A historic opener for the Chicago offense. Caleb Williams threw for 269 yards and two touchdowns and the running game rushed for 291 yards.

"This #Bears @ #Panthers game has everything! A lot of touchdowns, a blocked PAT, KENNY PICKETT!"

#DaBears #BearDown #ChicagoBears

The #Panthers have 37 points and are getting blown out. #NFL

The Santos XP is good and the #Bears now have 59 points on the board!!!

Bears 59
#Panthers 37

🎶"Sacked in the morning! Getting sacked in the morning! Sacked in the morning..."🎶

...I don't want to overreact, but...Has a DEF coordinator ever been sacked after the first game of the season before? 😅

#Panthers

THE PAT IS BLOCKED!!!

#Bears 52
#Panthers 37

Jalen Coker scores for the #Panthers after a missed tackle by Tyrique Stevenson.

TOUCHDOWN: #Panthers add a late touchdown to make it a 52-37 #Bears lead with 4:00 left in the game.

The Santos XP puts the #Bears up by 21 points now! This game is not yet over!

Bears 52
#Panthers 31

CLOSE THIS ONE OUT!
