No one anticipated a program of fireworks inbetween the Chicago Bears and Carolina Panthers on Thursday night. In reality, we understood this was a patently trash videogame on paper and would mostlikely not change into an immediate classic.
In a 16-13 win for Chicago, the Bears and Panthers naturally provided dullness inthemiddleof an unrepentant snoozefest. As somebody who actually (and unfortunately) seen all 60 minutes, I’m not sure I keepinmind more than a handful of choose plays. And even then, this videogame is currently fading from my memory duetothefactthat I’m mostlikely attempting to quelch its ugliness.
But it wasn’t all bad! Chicago’s triumph brings some severe implications for the company’s future. Meanwhile, Bryce Young’s failure to outduel a previous Division II quarterback doesn’t spell out excellent things for his future.
Let’s dive into the winners and losers from TNF in Chicago.

We talked at length about the ramifications of a Chicago win and loss on Thursday night. That’s what occurs when you own the other group’s first-round draft choice in2024 Ultimately, it mostlikely didn’t matter what the Bears accomplished versus the Panthers since they appeared predestined to have 2 top-five chooses this spring anyhow.
But pounding the Panthers was mostlikely the muchbetter outcome for an company that mostlikely requires a tough reset at quarterback (and simply about allover else). If Carolina — the league’s existing worst group by record — surfaces this method, Chicago will get the chance to draft somebody like Southern California’s Caleb Williams or North Carolina’s Drake Maye as its next offending signal-caller.
Bears win-win. They beat the Panthers 16-13, and being that they own Carolina’s 2024 first-round choice, additional enhanced their opportunities of landing the No. 1 general choice.

For the NFL’s earliest franchise lookingfor hope for the future, both are rewards worth the rate of seeing a random, dreadful Thursday night videogame in November.

I comprehend bookings about making concrete judgments on Bryce Young and his long-lasting outlook in the NFL. But man, I discover it actually hard to think this young guy’s gonna piece it together and live up to the status of being a No. 1 general choice. Thursday night was especially rough for any members of the #YoungHive.
