The Carolina Panthers are in utter disarray after yet another ugly loss on Sunday. Their frustration reached its boiling point during the fourth quarter and punches were thrown during an unfortunate brawl.

Multiple players were ejected from the contest as result of the skirmish.

Carolina lost to Chicago by 26 and dropped to 1-4 on the season. The Bears scored 27 points in the first half, which ultimately proved to be an insurmountable lead. Caleb Williams looked awesome. Andy Dalton failed to eclipse the 140-yard mark. He was ultimately replaced by Bryce Young late in the game.

It was a rough showing for the worst team in the NFL. And to make matters worse, the Panthers did not lose with grace. They went down swinging— just the wrong kind of swinging.

The Carolina Panthers are in shambles.

Roschon Johnson scored a touchdown with four minutes and 23 seconds left in the game to add an exclamation mark for Chicago. As the running back danced in the end zone to celebrate, Carolina defensive back Jaycee Horn got into it with a few players on the other team.

A shoving match ensued and 6-foot-7, 332-pound offensive tackle Matt Pryor was rocked from behind without warning by edge rusher D.J. Johnson. He went flying in front of the camera and ended up on the ground.

An alternate angle offered a better understanding of what happened.

Horn got blown off of the line of scrimmage and was blocked into the end zone. A late push by Bears lineman Bill Murray did not sit well with him, so he threw an open-hand punch to the head with both hands. It was a cheap shot!

Things quickly escalated from there. Pryor got involved and threw a punch back at Horn.

Upon further review, NFL officials decided to remove both players from the game. Matt Pryor and Jaycee Horn were ejected for fighting.
