Challenging.

That’s what Cam Newton said about this game they lost to the Bears 23-22.

That’s what Newton said about this week and this season.

Challenging.

Cam. That’s an understatement!

At halftime, the Panthers led 13-7. They took a 19-7 lead in the third quarter… and that’s when things got … as Cam would say … Challenging.

The Panthers scored three points as the Bears battled and clawed their way back with 16 points, including a game winning 41-yard field goal off the foot of Robbie Gould.

The Panthers are now 1-6. Whew. For more on the game from the Bears perspective, check out Windy City Sweetness!

The Panthers have quite the battle as they will take on Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins in Washington, D.C.

… And Cam thought the Bears were challenging.
