CNN —The Chicago Bears edged past the Carolina Panthers in a low-scoring affair on Thursday, a win which boosts their chances at the top pick in next year’s NFL Draft.
The Bears were without starting quarterback Justin Fields for Thursday’s game through injury, with undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent once again starting in his place.
In his first game since being traded from the Washington Commanders, Sweat had a team-high eight pressures in the game.
Thursday’s game was another tough outing for the Panthers QB, who finished with 21-of-38 passing for 185 yards and no touchdowns.
The victory moves to Chicago to 3-7 on the season, two games clear from Carolina’s league-worst record.
