Never mind tonight’s hype behind DJ Moore or even D’Onta Foreman. We have another revenge game brewing!
The first blood drawn in Thursday’s prime-time matchup between the Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears came courtesy of wideout Ihmir Smith-Marsette. The former Bear, at around the six-minute mark of the first quarter, took back a 79-yard punt return for a touchdown.

Smith-Marsette’s house call, which probably came as no surprise to him, is the first for the franchise since 2017.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the electric runback:
wait, we did a good?

Of all the Panthers-Bears narratives we set up this week…
I guess we overlooked the Ihmir Smith-Marsette revenge factor.

Cannot believe I forgot about the Ihmir Smith-Marsette revenge game.

Maybe it’s just me but I’d like to see Carolina use Ihmir Smith-Marsette more on offense.
