Jonathan Stewart rushed for 77 yards on 14 carries and scored a pair of touchdowns and the Carolina Panthers (2-0) overcame a 17-3 deficit in the third quarter to beat the Chicago Bears (1-1)20-17 on Sunday.
Once again it was the defense of Chicago that provided the points for their team as Brandon Lloyd collected a blocked punt and returned it 9-yards for a TD for an early 7-0 lead. After both clubs traded field goals in the second quarter the Bears pushed their lead to 17-3 on a Jason McKie one-yard run in the third quarter.
John Kasay put the Panthers on the board with a 45-yard field goal and after recovering a Chicago fumble Stewart scored on a 4-yard run to bring the panthers to within 17-13 heading into the fourth quarter.
The Panthers turned to Stewart again late in the fourth quarter and the rookie delivered when he pounded it in from one-yard out with just under four minutes left in the game and Carolina’s defense took care of the rest.
Carolina will travel to Minnesota next week while Chicago hosts Tampa Bay.
