  "account": "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales addressed questions surrounding defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero's defensive scheme following the team's 59-37 home loss to the Chicago Bears. Despite a strong offensive performance, the defense was criticized for allowing quarterback Caleb Williams and his team to accumulate 552 yards and eight touchdowns. This marked the eighth time in the past five years that Carolina had surrendered 40 or more points in a game, the highest total in the league during that period. Canales reaffirmed his support for Evero's system, stating that he has seen the scheme work at a high level and believes the team has the necessary personnel to execute it effectively. However, both Canales and Evero acknowledged that the defense needs to play better football moving forward.",
