Bears fans hanging 59 on Carolina and quietly floating C.Williams into MVP conversations before Week 2 even starts.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
What happened
Fifty-nine points in Carolina, and C.Williams looked like the version of himself the draft promised — a 47-yard strike to R.Odunze, a 29-yard scramble for six, the deep shot to L.Burden that kept the second quarter humming. Add a K.Monangai 61-yard touchdown and a Ji.Horn muffed punt gifted to K.Davis, and the afternoon tilted early. Bears fans get to exhale, savor it, and quietly wonder why C.Loveland was barely part of a 59-point outing.
