On Sunday afternoon, theChicago Bears started out their season with a bang by defeating the Carolina Panthers 59-37 on the road. Caleb Williams eviscerated the Panthers’ defense both through the air and on the ground in this one, with Chicago getting off to a good start in Ben Johnson’s quest to be the highest-scoring offense of all time.

On ESPN’s First Take on Monday morning, former NFL quarterback and current analyst Dan Orlovsky essentially claimed to be hopping onto the Williams bandwagon after previously championing Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels.

One person not amused by the decision was sports media personality Stephen A. Smith, who appeared to be on the verge of falling asleep amid Orlovsky’s soliloquy.

Meanwhile, Smith broke down what he needs to see the Bears in order to start taking them seriously as a threat in the NFC.

“If the Chicago Bears are going to go anywhere, you got to get something from their defense,” he said, per First Take on X, formerly Twitter.

Indeed, the Bears’ defense didn’t exactly turn in a performance to write home about on Sunday, getting sliced up by Bryce Young and company before finally getting some stops after halftime, while their own offense stayed red-hot.

Still, it’s hard not to feel enthusiastic about what the Bears were able to do on the other side of the ball against the Panthers, particularly on the ground, with the team breaking out numerous huge running plays en route to the blowout victory.

The Bears will now have a week to recalibrate before they next hit the field on Sunday at home against the Minnesota Vikings.
