Chicago's Cairo Santos kicked three field
goals.
Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent went 20-for-33 for 162 yards,
with ex-Panther DJ Moore catching five passes for a team-high 58
yards. Foreman gained 80 yards on 21 carries.
Panthers quarterback Bryce Young was 21-for-38 for 185 yards. He
directed a 50-yard drive on Carolina's last possession, but it
resulted in no points.
There was a fourth-and-1 conversion from Carolina's own 18. At
the two-minute warning, the Panthers faced fourth-and-2 from
their own 46. They picked that up on Young's 13-yard completion
to Miles Sanders, but they stalled again before attempting the
long field goal.
The Bears (3-7) scored their lone touchdown of the night after
winning the field-position battle in the third quarter. They
took possession at the Carolina 38-yard line and needed nine
plays to reach the end zone. Foreman ran 4 yards for the points.
Foreman gained 914 rushing yards and scored five touchdowns last
year for Carolina.
The Panthers converted a fourth-and-6 early in the fourth
quarter on Young's 11-yard pass to Tommy Tremble. They didn't
get another first down, but they were in range for Pineiro's
39-yard field goal to close within 16-13.
The Bears outgained the Panthers 205-97 in the first half but
never held a lead.
Carolina scored first on Ihmir Smith-Marsette's 79-yard punt
return at the end of Chicago's second possession.
The Panthers led 10-9 at halftime, also getting a 33-yard field
goal from Pineiro. Santos drilled field goals from 54, 36 and 39
yards.
The Bears' drives for first-half field goals consisted of 28
total plays and 144 yards.
