Bears beat Panthers 36-10. Has Caleb Williams arrived? | Breakfast Ball
The Chicago Bears beat the Carolina Panthers 36-10 in a rout led by Caleb Williams’ 304 yards and 2 TDs. Craig Carton and Danny Parkins discuss the win and ask if Caleb Williams has officially arrived in the NFL.
The New Orleans Saints appeared to suffer a loss in more ways than one on Monday night. Starting quarterback Derek Carr's night ended early after he took a hit from a Kansas City Chiefs defender on a fourth-down pass attempt.
Second-year quarterback Jake Haener stepped in for Carr on the Saints' final offensive possession. Haener and Carr both competed at Fresno State before they made it to the NFL in 2023 and 2014, respectively.
On Tuesday, the NFL Network reported that an oblique injury is expected to force Carr "to miss multiple games."
