Bears beat Vikings as QB Cutler makes winning return
The defense maintained the shutout before the Vikings managed a Blair Walsh 30-yard field goal with 26 seconds remaining in the second quarter.
Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard (24) runs from Minnesota Vikings strong safety Anthony Harris, from left, Danielle Hunter (99) and Eric Kendricks (54) during the first half of an NFL football game in Chicago, Monday, Oct. 31, 2016. But as effective as Cutler was following a rusty start and as much ground as Howard covered, the Bears defense stood tall and didn’t allow a touchdown until late in the fourth quarter. His 153 yards on Monday marked a career high.
“They’re giving me all this individual attention”, he said. “He doesn’t get fazed”.
As for game predictions, Bears vs Vikings, experts are heavily favoring Minnesota to win despite losing a game a week prior. During Cutler’s early outings this season Loggains got pass-happy behind a still-learning offensive line and Cutler took a lot of hits.
Howard, in this regard, displayed the ability to be the closer type back the Bears envisioned.
“I think it was more fun just to watch my teammates and see how hard they played and how well they played”, Cutler said, via the Associated Press. Those drafts include players such as Eddie Goldman, Adrian Amos, and Cody Whitehair- all of who have shown legitimate ability to play in the NFL.
“We’ve got to get ourselves back on track”, Griffen said. “But I definitely didn’t do it alone”. I wanted to chalk it up to Halloween, but I could feel the difference outside the stadium while I was doing my Sports Feed live shot. The Bears then simply overpowered the defensive front on Howard’s 2-yard touchdown run.
This is a group that we considered one of the best in the league.
Quotable: “We couldn’t put enough points on the board, offensively, in the first half, we were just stagnant”, Lions head coach Jim Caldwell said. No, it’s not news that he’s better than Jeremy Langford and has been since training camp.
“Going back to his days at the University of Miami, Andre was one of the most impressive wide receivers I’ve scouted”, Titans general manager Jon Robinson said in a statement on Monday. The fifth-round pick from IN ran for 153 yards and a touchdown and had four receptions for 49 yards. That was worse than their average coming in of 74.3 rushing yards per game. He started to pull the ball down prematurely and step up in the pocket into pressure when he really didn’t need to. When it was time to make plays, they made all the plays. The Vikings have to fix the offensive issues, but what can they do? It confirmed what I thought.
“Obviously, you miss guys like Kyle and Josh, for obvious reasons”. White was just showing signs of becoming a legitimate threat in the passing game when he was unfortunately injured yet again, and now that Floyd is getting healthy, he’s starting to show ability to get to the quarterback, with three sacks the last two games. “As the reps progressed through the week, we liked it even more”.
