🐻 The Chicago Bears Podcast | Bears Rout Panthers 59-37 in Week 1

Hosted by Pat The Designer & Shea Norling

Brought to you by Midwest Dairy, The Advantage Dealer Group & City Colleges of Chicago

The Chicago Bears opened the NFL season with a wild 59-37 victory over the Carolina Panthers, and Pat The Designer & Shea Norling break down everything from an explosive Week 1 performance.

The Bears offense erupted for 59 points, but Chicago's defense also surrendered 37 — so which number should Bears fans care about more? The guys debate whether the offensive explosion outweighs some legitimate concerns about a Bears secondary that struggled badly against Carolina.

Pat and Shea also take a trip around the NFC North, including a little enjoyment at the expense of the Packers after their rough start to the season.

Finally, after watching the Bears put 59 on the board in Week 1, have expectations for Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears already changed? Is this offense capable of becoming one of the NFL's most dangerous units, or should the defensive problems keep expectations in check?
