Re: Chicago Poll
In the previous 8 games this year, Carolina had allowed 12 sacks total.
The Bears had 8 in this game. Carolina has beaten New England, Tampa Bay, and the Jets while averaging 28 points a game this year. They scored 3 on Sunday.
Delhomme threw two INTs, 0 touchdowns. A lot of the yardage Smith got simply didn't matter. The game was never really close, and barring a dropped TD pass by Muhammed, the score should have been 20-3.
My point is this:
Carolina is a damned good team, and for them to get beat down by the Bears the way they did is very impressive. Teams don't win 6 straight games without being good in this league.
