Bears' Trade Payoff: Moore and Williams Shine in 36-10 Blowout of Panthers
Bears robbed the Panthers and it showed in week 5
It's all finally starting to come together. The Bears team fans dreamed of all off-season is beginning to blossom. The Bears are comfortable at home in the Windy City, winning 8 straight since last season. Early in the game, it looked like the Panthers may put up a fight after they opened up the scoring with a long rushing touchdown by Chubba Hubbard.
Down 7-0, the Bears and Caleb Williams went to work. They worked quickly scoring in 7 plays capped off by a beautiful catch and run by DJ Moore on a 34-yard touchdown reception. The connection between QB and wide receiver is special and it's beginning to show for the Bears. The Bears didn't slow down as backup running back Roshcon Johnson scored from 1 yard out on the next drive.
The Bears weren't done yet. Rising star Safety Jaquan Brisker laid the wood blowing up Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble forcing a massive fumble. With under 30 seconds left in the half, Williams made one of the best throws of his young career. He dropped back, moving the safety with his eyes before coming back and throwing a perfect ball to Moore for his second touchdown of the day. For Bears fans, it was a work of art as they haven't had a QB like that in a long time.
Taking a 27-7 lead into the half the Bears were grooving. In the second half, it was much of the same. The Bears' ruthless defense forced two more turnovers, a fumble by Tremaine Edmunds, and an interception by Kevin Byard. Running back Deandre had another great performance after a slow start to the season. Swift ran for 73 yards and a touchdown adding 47 yards on 2 receptions.
This Bears team is transforming before our eyes. A slow start from the offense has turned into a great play by many players. The offensive line which was highly criticized early in the year is improving even with injuries. That has led to the progression of Caleb Williams. Williams has improved every game not just in the stats column but on the field. It is evident that Williams is beginning to understand the game in depth and has caught up to the speed of the NFL.
Next up for the Bears is a trip across the pond. Having the privilege to play an NFL game in London is a cool experience for fans and players. The Bears will meet the Jacksonville Jaguars who aren't having the season they had hoped for. The Bear's defense is unbelievable, they have shut down opponents repeatedly this season only allowing 20 points once.
With the way the offense is coming along to complement one of the best units in the league on the other side, the Bears are becoming dangerous. Look for Caleb to continue to take positive leaps forward and for this offense to continue to blossom around him. If the Bears continue with how they've played they should get a nice win in London and head off to their bye week.
