Panthers vs. Bears: 5 Reasons Chicago Will Struggle vs. Cam Newton

I hate to be an alarmist, but if the Bears don’t beat the Panthers on Sunday at Soldier Field, their hopes for the postseason are all but over.

OK, now that I have your attention, I know what you’re probably thinking; this should be a relatively easy game, facing a 1-2 team with a rookie starting QB.

Oh, but wait, that rookie QB is none other than Cam Newton, and he has been impressive thus far.

Remember too, that the Bears are also 1-2, so they certainly shouldn’t be overlooking Carolina. Plus, we all know how badly Ron Rivera would love to beat his former employer and head coach.

That goes for Greg Olsen as well.

Naturally, the attention is on the perceived rift between Rivera and Lovie Smith, but I say forget all that and focus on the Panthers QB.

While I predict a win for the Bears, they will struggle against the Carolina QB.

Here’s why.
