No quarterback in Bears' history has put together a better two-year stretch than Jay Cutler has in his first two season in Chicago. But, Cutler has no playoff experience in his five-year NFL career.
So far this season, the NFL has been getting plenty of headlines about their rules, player conduct policy and the potential lockout of the 2011 season.
With the start of the NFL Playoffs just one week away, here's a look at the first round games and the potential matchups in the second round.
The Bears' offense had been on a roll. In six of their last eight games they had scored at least 20 points. But after a poor performance on Sunday, they're not hanging their heads.
An NFL source tells the NBC sports site ProFootballTalk.com that the Carolina Panthers plan to interview former Bears great Ron Rivera for the team's top job.
Well, we found out that winning this game was important to Lovie Smith. The Bears starters played the entire game and came up short in the regular season finale 10-3.
After scoring 78 points in their 2 preceding games the Bears offense went into hibernation up here in Green Bay. The old bug a boos returned as the offense line failed to protect Jay Cutler witness 6 sacks.
Aaron Rodgers' 1-yard touchdown pass to tight end Donald Lee gave the Green Bay Packers the lead in the fourth quarter and clinched a wild card berth with a 10-3 win.
The Chicago Bears were hoping to take the No. 1 seed in the playoffs and two games determined this happening. They needed the Carolina Panthers to upset the Atlanta Falcons and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to beat or tie the New Orleans Saints. Atlanta spoiled this for the Bears before Chicago even took the field against Green Bay.
Earl Bennet missed practice this week with an ankle injury and is still unable to play against the Packers Sunday afternoon.
