Bears Stun Steelers

The Chicago Bears had a rough start to their regular season with a road loss to their rival Green Bay Packers. Few things could take away the pain of that loss, but beating the defending Super Bowl champs was just what the doctor ordered. The Bears shocked nearly everyone by topping the Pittsburgh Steelers 17-14, thanks to a last minute 44-yard boot by Robbie Gould.

One of the biggest differences between the Packers game and the Steelers game was the play of quarterback Jay Cutler. The quarterback explained, “It was Week 1 to Week 2. That’s kind of when you make the biggest jump, and guys were in sync. We started off pretty basic. We wanted to kind of see what they were doing, and as the game went on we started making more and more plays. Guys fought hard today. We knew it was going to be 60 minutes. We knew it was going to come down to the last couple drives, and guys hung in there and we made plays when we had to.”

Cutler finished the game with 236 passing yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions and a passer rating of 104.7. See them play live with Chicago Bears tickets from StubHub.
