Matt Forte: Not expected to play Sunday

“That’s awesome. I love that”, Slauson said. In all, the Bears racked up 397 yards of offense.

“I was looking up at it to see when I had to cut away from him”, Miller said.

“Jay Cutler remains a mystery”.

“We got outplayed, got outcoached”, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said.

About one thing, at least: Throw the ball to running backs.

McClellin recovered the fumble at the St. Louis 19, setting up Robbie Gould’s 35-yard field goal, which tied the game 10-10.

On Sunday the Chicago Bears travel to take on the St. Louis Rams. That’s the first time the Bears have reached the century mark in over a month.

Everyone doubted the Bears heading into their Week 10 road matchup against the defensive minded Rams.

CLOSE CALLS: The Bears are on quite a roll when it comes to close games. He maintained that his squad was preparing like a championship team, and wins in four of the last six games demonstrate that there is improvement with this club. Offensive coordinator Adam Gase has done wonders for Jay Cutler and has him playing at a high level. Langford played the all-purpose role in Forte’s absence last week. Finally their offensive play script produced early results in a game. I think snapping was probably the biggest transition for him, and then communicating to the right side as well. “We’re always focusing on stripping the ball out, trying to work on that ball”. He can scramble and take off on you and really make a few plays with his feet. “I just happened to look over my right shoulder and saw 22 coming across”. That comes out to 28 days in which the Bears went without a win. On the same day Manning set the all-time passing record, eclipsing Brett Favre’s previous mark of 71,838 yards, Manning had the worst game of his career, a performance which will prompt many people to wonder whether Manning is washed up. Cutler even broke a 26-yard run on a read-option in the third quarter to cap off a great all-around game.

After missing the past three seasons with injuries, Miller has made up for lost time in the past two weeks.

With Forte returning to practice this past week, that may signal that the running back will be ready to play against the Denver Broncos next Sunday. He also caught 7 passes for 109 yards and an 83-yard scoring scamper. When it’s not working, you’ll only hear the players talk about the coaches when directly asked about them.

Wes Welker, who replaced suspended receiver Stedman Bailey and was expected to fill a third down role for the Rams, was able to find openings past the sticks but was overthrown or missed by an inconsistent Foles. Cutler should complete plenty of passes.

The Bears didn’t report the injury Wednesday but coach John Fox confirmed the injury occurred. Im in DC again, for college this time, and all I can do is hope that the result is different this time.

He viewed only “bits and pieces” of the Chicago Bears’ victory at San Diego on Monday night. Their defense entered ranked fifth. If Chicago can defend Philip Rivers, it can certainly defend Foles.

Jeremy Langford did another superb job filling in for Matt Forte.

Todd Gurley has exceeded all expectations so far this season.

Akhil is 4-4 in his St. Louis Rams predictions on the year.

The Rams will look to rebound from their loss to the Vikings last week when they host the Bears as a 7-point home favorite today at 1:00PM ET. The Rams offense has not been performing in a way that makes them truly explosive.
