It seems QB Jay Cutler could not shake his off-night from the home game against New England in Week 14, where Cutler threw 4 INTs. He would end up throwing 3 INTs in this matchup against Minnesota. Nevertheless, the Bears' O-line did excellently when run-blocking, and Bears RB Matt Forte continued to perform at another level, taking the team on his back and helping the Bears' offense win the game despite Cutler's woes, finishing with 3 rushing touchdowns and 163 yards rushing.
