Cutler was 19-for-31 for 200 yards and one touchdown for Chicago (5-6), which won for the third time in four games.

I bring up Jahns’ prediction not to stroke his ego (we’ll get to his unfortunate season record in a moment) but to point out how little faith there was in the possibility of a Bears’ victory at Lambeau Field that night.
Chicago’s defence, on the other hand, had two takeaways, and they were both huge. He struggled in the pocket at times in the first two quarters, but he looked comfortable and in control of coordinator Adam Gase’s offense in the second half. The second came with 3:19 remaining in the game.
Aaron Rodgers’ throw to the end zone deflected off receiver Davante Adams’ hands in the cold rain. “So it was a gift interception there for Porter”.
He still has a way to go before he can be considered one of the league’s elite quarterbacks, but Cutler’s performance on Thursday night helped the Bears get within one game of.
“We had the opportunity at the end down there at the 8-yard line with the shots and we didn’t get it done”, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said.
“I just pursued from behind and tried to wrap up and get an arm on it”, Prosinski said.
On Tuesday afternoon, as Bears coach John Fox feverishly prepared his team for this week’s quick turnaround, he was asked whether he believed in signature wins.
“I think, even though we’ve lost some close games, I think we’ve gained some confidence in those experiences, and now it was finally nice to be able to convert one of those close contests against a very worthy opponent”.
“Obviously we’re running out of time here”, said right guard T.J. Lang after the game.
“For me, he is a genius”, Prosinski said about Fangio.
” I saw Bart earlier today, first time I’d seen him in I couldn’t tell you how long. There are a lot of variables that go into being successful each week”. Jeffrey would finish with 7 catches for 90 yards and the Bears needed all of those on Thursday night. Marquess Wilson caught four for 44, and Marc Mariani caught three for 35. “Then we scored a touchdown on the same drive and the rest is history”.
To make that play all the more interesting, you could hear Rodgers’ reaction at the play through the television, at least according to video captured by a viewer that was posted to Reddit. “Getting Alshon back was big”. Adding in the emergence of Zach Miller and Kevin White possibly coming back and the Bears are going to continue having an impressive group of targets for Jay Cutler to throw to. On Monday, his wife gave birth to their third child. Rodgers immediately clutched his left hand as he jogged off the field, and backup QB Scott Tolzien immediately grabbed his helmet and began to warm up. You look across that side and there’s not a lot of guys from previous year.
There a thousands of fans of the Green Bay Packers shaking their heads tonight, 24 hours after the Chicago Bears handed the Packers their fourth loss on this season that was supposed to be super.
For the Bears, Jeremy Langford had 48 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries. “It feels really good”. But Porter was there, reaching in front of James Jones to knock the ball away on what usually is another brilliant escape for a score by the Green Bay quarterback.

This loss was no different than those to the Broncos, the Panthers and the Lions that have come in the past month – the Packers simply have no synchronized passing game.
