Bears vs. Panthers battle leads to elimination in Chicago’s big win

Several players were ejected from a game between the Chicago Bears and Carolina Panthers on Sunday after a fight broke out in the end zone in the fourth quarter.

Bears running back Roschon Johnson scored from 1 yard out to put Chicago ahead, 36-10, with 4:23 left in the game. As the broadcast camera turned to watch Johnson’s celebration, Chicago offensive lineman Bill Murray and Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn got into a skirmish.

Horn appeared to hit Murray in the helmet. When players from both teams came into contact with each other, Bears offensive lineman Matt Pryor was pushed to the ground and appeared to be punched in the brouhaha. Horn and Pryor were ejected from the game.

Panthers head coach Dave Canales spoke about the incident after the game.

“We just have to keep our emotions in check,” Canales said. “In a very tough match, emotions run high. He was instigated to do this, we cannot take revenge.”
