The Chicago Bears beat the Carolina Panthers. The Green Bay Packers blew another double digit fourth quarter lead, giving up 39 points. To Carson Wentz. Sunday was a good day to be a Bears fan.

Despite all the good, there was also some bad, mostly on the defensive side of the ball where Chicago struggled to stop Bryce Young and a good corps of recievers.
