For those hoping for a reprieve for the Bears after Chicago finished the most grueling three-game stretch any team in the league will face this season, don’t get comfortable.

The Carolina Panthers aren’t the pushovers they were a year ago.

The 1-2 Panthers have been giving teams hell, losing to both the Cardinals and the Packers by just a touchdown.  They have scored the same number of points the Bears have and have allowed one fewer point than Chicago.

Risen on the wings of new head coach Ron Rivera and No. 1 overall draft choice Cam Newton, the Panthers will not go gently into that good night.

Additionally, the Panthers present some unique challenges to Chicago that could put the Bears at a disadvantage in this game.

Reeling from two disappointing and embarrassing losses, the Bears are looking to replant their feet and start pushing toward a playoff bid with a win over the formerly hapless Panthers.

What do the Bears need to do to beat Carolina at Soldier Field on Sunday?  Follow me as we look at the keys to a Bears victory.
