Bears’ screen pass disaster turned into offensive spark in win over Bucs
The Panthers lead the National Football League in turnover margin at plus-19, and in the past seven games Carolina has just five turnovers – one interception against 19 touchdown passes, with four lost fumbles. While the 49ers rank better statistically against the pass, it’s not much better. Cutler doesn’t get enough credit for his mobility but his elusiveness was certainly on display Sunday.

The former Michigan State standout saw extended playing time against the San Diego Chargers, St. Louis Rams and Denver Broncos earlier this season, but he and Forte have been splitting time since the veteran back returned to the lineup in Week 12 against the Green Bay Packers. “But to have one and get them set up like that … it’s hard to come back from that. I thought we were prepared, but normally you have a loss when you play like that”.
The Bears (6-9) have improved in their first season under Fox and general manager Ryan Pace.
The Buccaneers’ defense is the key to this game.
“Also, the way we work, things aren’t always going to go our way, and there’s going to be tough times, but the great thing about this team is they just keep on working on preparing and getting better every week”.
The debate around the running backs for the Chicago Bears entering Sunday was whether fantasy owners wanted Matt Forte or Jeremy Langford. Cutler didn’t have the eye popping numbers, but he was very efficient going 20 of 27 passing for 156 yards and 1 touchdown.
“Usually you don’t get that break, so to get that turned around, I think we went down and scored after that, that’s a huge break for us”.
“I think yes, we can put something into this last game”, said Smith. Cutler has been the main reason why the Bears have won the games they have this season. I like the way they responded. “It’s the NFL. Some times this stuff happens”. Eddie Royal will, mercifully, be able to play despite his knee injury, but the Bears major offseason signing at WR has hardly looked like an ideal playmaker- let alone an ideal No. 1 receiver. Winston and the offensive line faced many blitzes from Chicago’s defense and did a nice job handling them throughout.
The two teams are already out from playoff contention, making this game more about pride and finishing the season on a positive note.
Here’s what you need to know about the Sunday’s encounter. Outside of Gerald McCoy, Lavonte David and suspended rookie Kwon Alexander, who has made a case to come back next season? We have a better record, but we have an opportunity to add to that this week and that’s why this is our playoff game, all the words you want to use.
