Bears quarterback Jay Cutler said Thursday that the team's offense last year was so poor that he doesn't know how they won games, and the offense absolutely must carry its weight this year.
The Chicago Bears had some more trouble getting practice in on Wednesday, when a power outage forced them to move practice to a nearby high school in Bourbonnais.

Bears defensive tackle Anthony Adams has been out with a calf injury since the weekend and Wednesday he was wearing a walking boot on his left foot to protect the injury.
