The Chicago Bears will play the Carolina Panthers at Soldier Field this Sunday. It marks the first time the two teams have met since 2014 when the Bears fell in Carolina 31-24. Both teams are difficult to gauge. The Bears are 2-4 but coming off a big win. The Panthers are 4-2 but coming off a tough loss. This game feels like it could be a pivot point. If nothing else it allowed the Bears media to catch up with Thomas Davis.
The Pro Bowl outside linebacker is one of the true good guys in the NFL. He’s done loads of charity work over his long career, winning Walter Payton Man of the Year honors in 2014. All this in addition to being a tremendous player on the field. He’s an intelligent man who knows football, so getting his opinion on anything is well worth it.
To the surprise of many the primary subject that came up with him was Bears rookie quarterback Mitch Trubisky. Turns out Davis is quite impressed by his exploits thus far. So much so that he envisions a notable veteran as a comparison. (continue to next page)
