How confident are you in the Chicago Bears?

The Chicago Bears displayed resilience in their season-opening game against the Carolina Panthers, overcoming early adversity and weathering the Panthers' comeback to secure a 22-point victory. Head Coach Ben Johnson and rookie quarterback Caleb Williams appeared to be the backbone of the team's success, with the offensive line moving people effectively and Caleb Williams delivering several "OMG" moments.

However, the defense faced challenges throughout the game, with the secondary allowing several leaks, inconsistent pass rush, and the run defense struggling to contain the Panthers' running backs, who gained an average of 4.8 yards per carry. Fans are invited to participate in weekly surveys to voice their opinions on the defense and overall confidence in the Bears.
