The Bears haven’t lost a home game in a long time. They’ve won seven straight at Solider Field, dating back to Week 6 of the 2023 season, clearly playing well in those friendly confines.

They’ll try to make it eight straight on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, who are now quarterbacked by an old pal. Former Bears quarterback Andy Dalton has the struggling team playing competitive football, so this one could be closer than originally thought when the schedule came out.

Getting quarterback pressure will be key, with an emphasis on faster starts on both sides of the ball.

Here’s how to watch and see if those goals are achieved and the Bears can record another home win.
