Sometimes, The Chicago Bears can do something well. They have solid defense, and have a special punt returner in Devin Hester, who scored again on a 65 yard burst to break the NFL record. Jay Cutler threw for 3 scores and the Bears looked like Monsters of the Midway again. Chicago goes to 10-4 a 40-14 victory over their NFC North rivals, the Vikings.
You have to give them credit. They finally took some suspense out of the last two games, and wrapped up a playoff spot. They don't have to play nervously in their final two games to see if they get in the post-season. They did it tonight with the victory.
Cutler is an enigma. He a cool cucumber or a hot tamale. When he's good he's great. When he throws mis-read interceptions, he's not so good. Maybe, under Mike Martz's direction, he is getting better. But the Bears had a running game, and Matt Forte made nice good cuts to break free for first-downs. He moved the chains tonight and the Bears needed a game like that. The Bears had it working on prime-time TV, and for once, they weren't embarrasing. In fact, they looked pretty good. Go Bears!
