The NFL team’s coach said one of the reasons the former Alabama All-American played on Sunday was to protect his former backup.

Bryce Young didn’t cast blame or shed frustration at his role on Sunday. He stuck to a refrain Panthers fans have heard for 17 months.

It was one of the most talked about storylines heading into Week 5 as the Chicago Bears and rookie quarterback Caleb Williams took on the team that traded away the opportunity to draft him in the Carolina Panthers.

The Bears were poked just six minutes in, when Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard drew first blood with a career-long 38-yard touchdown run. Chicago would then go on to score 30 unanswered points, highlighted by a three-touchdown second quarter.

Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears did exactly what they wanted against one of the worst teams in the NFL. They have another big opportunity this week. The Bears again meet a team near the bottom of the league when they face Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars in London after dominating the lowly Carolina Panthers 36-10 on Sunday.
