The Bears have surprised many with their 4-1 start to 2020. However, their four wins have come against the Lions, Giants, Falcons and Buccaneers, who have a combined record of 4-15.
The Bears overcame a 26-10 deficit in the third quarter in Atlanta, and were down, 13-0, to Tampa Bay last...
"We knew that they were going to come in and run the football," Rhule said. "That's who they are, and they do it really well."
Sunday's performance feeds into a larger issue. Carolina ranks No. 25 in rushing yards allowed (667) and No. 31 in yards per carry allowed (5.4).
"You just have to...
It's been only three weeks since McCaffrey suffered the injury. He told reporters on Sept. 21 that doctors initially diagnosed him with a four-to-six-week recovery timeline, though he wanted to return sooner. McCaffrey suffered the injury during the second half of the loss to Tampa Bay. He was...
CHARLOTTE — In a virtual press conference last week, quarterback Teddy Bridgewater used nicknames when shouting out the offensive line for its solid performance in the win over Arizona.
When he got to right guard John Miller, Bridgewater called him, 'Big Boosie.'
Where did that come from...
MIKE DAVIS IS 'ASTOUNDING'
Davis' career-best 149 scrimmage yards were instrumental in Sunday's win. While head coach Matt Rhule hasn't necessarily been surprised by Davis' performances the past three weeks, he didn't know how good Davis would be at running through contact.
"The physical...
Burris had a chance to pick up an early takeaway, but he didn’t capitalize on the opportunity. Instead of scooping and scoring, he whiffed on the fumble from defensive end Brian Burns’ strip sack.
But with encouragement from his teammates and coaches, Burris kept his head in it and capitalized...

ATLANTA — Wide receiver Curtis Samuel has turned into Mr. Third Down the past few weeks, grabbing an NFL-high eight passes on third down during the Panthers' three-game win streak. But no conversion may have been as consequential as a 17-yard run by the former college running back during the...
ATLANTA — Safety Juston Burris had a chance to make a game-changing play in the first half, but didn't get it done. He wasn't going to let a second opportunity slip away.
Midway through the second quarter of the Panthers' eventual 23-16 victory over the Falcons, defensive end Brian Burns...
Davis finished Sunday's contest with a career-high 149 yards from scrimmage — 89 rushing and 60 receiving. He also caught his second touchdown of the year to cap a well-executed two-minute drill late in the first half.
