This was by far the best Bears' win this season. It was also Jay Cutler's best game as a Chicago Bear, and not just because of the stats.
We are not even through two seasons since Jay Cutler became a Bear, and it already feels like a long story: spectacular touchdowns undermined by inexcusable interceptions, petulant shoulder shrugs interpreted for greater meaning, and club-hopping with quasi-famous TV arm-candy.
Earlier this month in his weekly Sports Illustrated Q&A, Dan Patrick posed the question to Brian Urlacher, "Best team in the NFC now?"
There are still some people who doubt whether or not the Bears are a legitimate playoff team. A win against the Philadelphia Eagles could turn those people into believers.
With a record of 7-3, the Bears aren't a joke. But I still can't take them seriously. Can you?
Not too long ago, Lovie Smith seemed primed to be forced out of Chicago. Now, that doesn't seem as likely.
Plenty of quarterbacks don't reach their full potential in the NFL because they don't put in the classroom hours necessary. While Cutler is doing enough for right now, can he take his game to the next level?
The Bears' wins this season haven't necessarily come against the best competition that the league has to offer. However, a win against the Eagles would grab the attention form the rest of the NFL.
Michael Vick steals most of the headlines when it comes to the Eagles' offense, but he's not the only playmaker the team has. The best way to slow down the Eagles' offense might just be the Bears' offense.
Hester was a dynamic, game changing returner before the Bears started the process of turning him into a number one receiver. And Hester might not be too far off from reaching that point.
There has been a shift in the Bears offense attack. They are no longer relying on the pass to win games. However, with the added run game has Jay Cutler become a game manager?
I'm sure a gambler can explain to me how the Bears' 16-0 dismantling of the Dolphins somehow qualifies as an upset. Some lines had them as a 2.5-point underdog at kickoff, with Miami a clear, consensus favorite.
Some of Jay Cutler's passes this season have been forced into coverage. Cutler has been criticized for making these throws and not protecting the football. However, that aggressive attitude is just was Mike Martz wants.
There was plenty of hype surrounding Jay Cutler when he came out of college. According to former Dolphins head coach Don Shula, Cutler still hasn't lived up to those expectations.
It's a shortened week of preparation for a road game against a winning team in a place that has been historically unkind to them.
Coming off two consecutive wins, the Bears prepare to take on the Miami Dolphins. A win against the banged up Dolphins would help the Bears establish themselves as a playoff team.
Let me first say that I'm against the Thursday Night Game. I think it's unfair to players. Usually guys don't start feeling normal again until Wednesday.
Time is everything, especially when you're a quarterback in a Mike Martz offense. The more time Cutler has had to throw the ball the better the results have been and the more his confidence has grown.
It might be week 10 but the Bears offense is finally starting to come together. They've shown a much more balanced attack, and Jay Cutler has been ad-libbing a bit more, bringing a new element to Mike Martz's scheme. CBS 2's Megan Mawicke reports.
The Mike Martz offense is heavily based on passing the ball down field. And Over his career, Martz has done little to change from that. But after the success of the Bears with a balanced offense, will Martz break from his tradition?
NFL Network analyst Joe Theismann, who will call Thursday's Bears game in Miami, joined the Mully & Hanley Show Monday and praised wide receiver Johnny Knox.
Who would have thought that the Bears would be 6-3 at this point of the season? Certainly not me and, dare I say, not many of you. But the fact remains that after their 27-13 victory over Minnesota on Sunday, the Bears are tied with Green Bay on top of the NFC North division.
Chicago Bears battled back and forth with the Minnesota Vikings but were able to close them out for the win. LISTEN: GAME HIGHLIGHTS, LOVIE SMITH
