Without their leader, Jay Cutler, the Chicago Bears went into a Week 5 matchup against the Carolina Panthers hoping they could pull out a win.
Many fans didn't know if the Bears could muster out a win even against the 0-4 Panthers, but the Bears proved the doubters wrong and nearly dominated all aspects of this 23-6 win.
They jumped out to a early 17-3 lead, thanks to two Matt Forte rushing touchdowns. Forte broke a 18-yard run for the first points of the game and on the following drive he broke a 68-yarder.
Even with poor play from Todd Collins, the Bears now find themselves at 4-1 and atop the NFC North division. Thanks to a overtime win from Washington over Green Bay, the Bears have a one-game lead over the Packers.
