Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and Eagles quarterback Michael Vick weren't just trying to edge it out on the field in last night's game.
Matt Forte bounced back from two costly turnovers and Jay Cutler rallied the resilient Bears to a 30-24 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. The surging Bears move to 5-3.
Leading charge for the Eagles is the versatile Michael Vick, who's legs are just as much a threat as his arms. Add to that mix an explosive group of wide receivers and a running back rushing for over five yards per carry, and the Bears have a tantalizing challenge.
Another big game for the Bears as they travel to take on Philadelphia tonight. If the Bears can find a way to win, they put themselves in a great spot to continue the playoff race. A loss with a rested Detroit coming in next week makes things more difficult. Here are the matchups I'm looking at:

Like Jay Cutler, Ben Roethlisberger and Michael Vick received intense scrutiny for things that happened off the football field. While Cutler's criticism didn't steam from legal or serious personal issues, the solution is still the same.
Let's get one thing straight, first: Ben Roethlisberger did some bad things. The knee-jerk yelp of "he was never charged with anything!" is meaningless, when we consider the facts of the two publicized cases, the NFL's own investigation of his behavior, and the quarterback's stated contrition.
