- Chicago Bears scored 59 points in a 59-37 season-opening win over the Carolina Panthers, with the source noting the franchise made NFL history with its scoring output.
- The combined 96-point total marked the highest-scoring Week 1 game in NFL history.
- Caleb Williams accounted for four total touchdowns to lead the Bears' offense in the record-setting victory.
Why it matters: The 96-point combined total establishes a new benchmark for Week 1 offensive output, and Williams' four-touchdown debut sets the tone for the Bears' season. Carolina surrendering 59 points in the opener immediately puts its defense under scrutiny heading into Week 2.
