Montez Sweat has recently been making headlines for a variety of reasons.
The Chicago Bears’ defense played a crucial role in Thursday night’s victory over the Carolina Panthers, emerging as the decisive factor. Despite ongoing debates about the defense’s performance this season, they effectively halted the struggling Panthers offense, limiting them to just six points (with the Panthers’ lone touchdown coming from special teams).

Montez Sweat, the defensive end traded to Chicago on October 31, showcased his skills in prime time at Soldier Field, earning applause from the crowd.
Shortly after his on-field performance, Sweat found himself the subject of attention from an Instagram model who called him out and provided evidence of their interaction.

While Sweat didn’t record a sack in the game, he made a significant impact with three QB hits and an impressive amount of pressure. According to Next Gen Stats, Sweat generated eight pressures in his second game with Chicago, marking the highest number by a Bears pass rusher since Robert Quinn in 2020.
Sweat’s season total of 45 pressures places him fifth in the NFL rankings. It remains to be seen how he will handle the external pressure stemming from the publicized interaction with his apparent ex-girlfriend.
