Carolina Panthers Form
Carolina head into this short week on the back of another defeat that dropped them to 1-7.
The Panthers opened the season with a 24-10 defeat in Atlanta, and then lost 20-17 to New Orleans in their home opener.
The losses kept stacking up as they then lost 37-27 in Seattle, before returning home for a 21-13 defeat at the hands of Minnesota.
Carolina’s winless start reached six games as they lost 42-24 in Detroit and 42-21 in Miami, but they finally got off the mark on October 29 when they downed Houston, 15-13, at home.
The Panthers’ joy was short-lived though, as they immediately returned to losing ways with a 27-13 defeat to Indianapolis last weekend.
Chicago Bears Form
Chicago return home looking to bounce back from a couple of defeats that have left them with a 2-7 record.
The Bears kicked off the season with a miserable 38-20 home defeat to Green Bay, and then went out on the road to lose 27-17 at Tampa Bay and 41-10 at Kansas City.
They then lost 31-28 at home to Denver to fall, before finally ending a year-long wait for a victory with a 40-20 victory at Washington.
Chicago failed to back that up as they then lost 19-13 to Minnesota, but they did avoid back-to-back defeats as they bounced back quickly to beat Las Vegas 30-12.
The Bears have not won since though, suffering a 30-13 defeat at the Los Angeles Chargers before melting down offensively in a 24-17 loss in New Orleans.
