Pull up a chair folks, because what we have here is an NFL showdown between the Carolina Panthers and the Chicago Bears. Let's dive into the numbers, because that's where the juicy stuff is.
Let's start by remembering their last match quite recently in November '23 - the Panthers lagged behind the Bears with a minor three-point hitch, 16-13.
Now, let's sit down and talk Panthers. Their regular season record has been a slump, at 1-3, and they haven't been fairing too well in their recent outings either. Their last feather in the cap was their 36-22 victory over the Las Vegas. Even with QB Andy Dalton showing good form with over 100 in passing efficiency and 5Touchdowns to his name in the last month, the Panthers have been struggling. Offensive players like Chuba Hubbard and Diontae Johnson have been putting up a brave front with 380 and 239 total yards respectively but it's evident they've been having a rough time on the field.
On the other side, we have the Chicago Bears, who seem to have been having just a little better luck at the game, with a 2-2 seasonal record. Their recent victory over Los Angeles with a 24-18 scoreline might just be the confidence booster they need. Quarterback Caleb Williams has been holding his own with a 72.0 passing efficiency in the last month. D'Andre Swift and DJ Moore on offense have been turning heads too with 279 and 196 total yards respectively.
Talking about defense, the Panthers squad with Shaq Thompson and Xavier Woods managed a decent performance with 37 and 27 tackles respectively last month. Comparatively, the Bears defense lineup with Brisker and Edwards isn’t that far behind having notched up 36 and 34 tackles respectively in the past month.
So, it's down to the wire, and although Panthers have been pawing steadily, my money would be on the Bears as they seem more likely to claw their way to the top.
So, lock in the final word,
