Wow what a great victory for the Bears. It really came down to the wire at the end, but once again the bears came out with a victory. This was a much needed victory because we have not been playing the greatest football in other stadiums. Chicago has had 2 of their 3 loses in away stadiums (Detroit Lions, New Orleans Saints), but even with Philadelphia’s home field advantage the bears were victorious.
I would say that the most interesting part about the victory would be the diversification of the Bears offense. Most of Chicago’s offensive production usually comes from the run game. Although Matt Forte did run for 133 yards, I would say that the pass game became the most surprising to fans. Cutler threw for 208 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. We do no usually see these types of number coming from Cutler. This just shows that Cutler can produce good games, but his pass success was not solely on himself. It seemed like Cutler had a lot of help from an old friend in his receiving core. That’s right Earl Bennett did WORK tonight. He had 5 receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown. Bennett has been injured most of the season. People forget that last year he was one of the better receivers on our team, and now that he is back and healthy it makes a huge impact for the Bears offense. I think that the Eagles were so focused on Forte’s run game that they forgot that Cutler could even throw the ball. This is the type of game the fans needed to see from Cutler. We all know that he has struggled in the past, but this just proves that there is a lot of potential in this Bears offense.
