After both teams punted, a 38-yard Chuba Hubbard touchdown put the Panthers ahead briefly 7-0, but Carolina's offense was stymied by a lights-out Bears unit from there. Chicago's lead ballooned to 30-7 near the end of the third quarter,

Caleb Williams threw for 304 yards and two touchdowns in his best performance to date, DJ Moore added 105 yards receiving and two scores against his former team and the Chicago Bears beat the Carolina Panthers 36-10.

This wasn’t a coronation. A coronation involves a crown and, at least in football, an opponent not beset by injuries or suffering from quarterback deprivation. No, this was a celebration. A celebration of what the Bears can be. But more than anything, it was a celebration of what Caleb Williams’ talents look like when fully engaged.
