5 storylines to follow for Carolina Panthers at Chicago Bears
1. Who is better Frank Reich or Matt Eberflus?
This is an interesting underlying matchup. Back with the Indianapolis Colts, the team had Frank Reich calling the offense and Matt Eberflus calling the defense. Now, they are coaching against each other. For Reich, he gave up play-calling duties to his offensive coordinator, Thomas Brown. For Eberlus, he took over play-calling duties from his defensive coordinator, Alan Williams. Both are failing in their new jobs so far.
So, we will get to see who the brains of the Colts were on Thursday. It will be the Reich offense against the Eberflus defense. The familiarity is there for both sides, so there are no excuses for either.
