How did the Chicago Bears and Carolina Panthers do in NFL Week 4 action? The Chicago Bears are coming off a Sunday night game against the New York Giants in Week 4. The Giants dominated the Bears, beating them 17-3. “We tried everything we could. Give the Giants all the credit in the world. They played lights out tonight,” said Bears center Olin Kreutz. Todd Collins and Jay Cutler certainly paid the price as well. Cutler was sacked nine times in the first half alone. He suffered a concussion and didn’t return to the game. Todd Collins took over in the second half and lasted until there were about 4 minutes left in the game. He took a blindside hit from linebacker Michael Boley of the Giants and took the sideline. No. 3 quarterback Caleb Hanie took over from there and was sacked with the Giants 10th sack of the game with 3 minutes left. Before Cutler left, he completed 8 of 11 passes for 42 yards, but also had an interception. This marks the third time in Cutlers career that he had fewer than 100 yards passing in a game.
The Carolina Panthers played the defending Super Bowl Champs the New Orleans Saints. Playing a close game, the Panthers lost 16-14 in New Orleans. The now 0-4 team hung in there against the champs, but couldn’t pull out a win. Not too impressive for the Saints, I might add. The Panthers did manage to hold the Saints to only 1 touchdown for the game, with the other points coming from field goals. Rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen completed 11 of 20 passes for 146 yards. He had a highlight 55-yard scoring pass to Jonathan Stewart. Carolina had a lead 14-10 in the third quarter when DeAngelo Williams had a 39 yard touchdown run. Wide receiver Steve Smith left the game in the second half with a left ankle injury. Currently, he’s out for Week 5 against the Bears.
