Derrick Brown, one of the Panthers' best defenders, had two critical penalties in Carolina's 59-37 Week 1 loss to Chicago.

Carolina's QB1 shines despite brutal Week 1 loss

The NFC South is one of the great comedy routines of our age, and a preliminary ranking of the 0-4 division feels like the right way to remind everyone of its glory.

The Bears hung 59 points on the Panthers on Sunday. But Carolina's most important player had himself a day, too. "He was unstoppable."

Carolina Panthers tight end Darren Waller had two receptions for 28 yards on two targets in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears in his team debut. He nearly had a touchdown, too, but it was called back due to a penalty on the offensive line.

The Panthers' defense was completely gashed on Sunday in a shocking performance.

The Bears are coming off an impressive first year under Johnson, where they went from worst-to-first with an 11-6 record, winning the NFC North and notching their first playoff win in nearly two decades.
