Statistical Breakdown: How Bears and Panthers stack up before Week 5

The Chicago Bears (2-2) will face the Carolina Panthers (1-3) on Sunday, where Chicago is looking to extend their home winning streak to eight games.

Chicago is coming off a 24-18 win over the Los Angeles Rams (1-3), where all three phases played a role in the win. The defense continued its dominant effort, holding their opponent to 21 or fewer points in their 10th consecutive game and coming away with some timely takeaways. The Bears offense appeared to find its identity with an impressive performance on the ground, led by D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson, while rookie Caleb Williams continued to make strides. Even rookie punter Tory Taylor played a part with two late fourth-quarter punts that pinned Los Angeles deep.

Here’s how the Bears and Panthers stack up statistically ahead of Sunday's matchup.
