The Chicago Bears had entered 2009 with a single aim in mind. They wanted to strengthen their defense, and obtain a strong armed QB, to lead them to victory.
However, Thursday night was a shocker for the guys. They stepped out in San Fran, to a face a 49ers team in a match up that should have been theirs. Jay Cutler had a nightmare of a game, throwing five interceptions, including one on the last play of the game.
The Bears pushed on towards what would have been the game-winning score. Looking for tight end Greg Olsen in the end zone from the Niners 12yard line, Cutler ran up in the pocket and threw, only to have it picked off by Michael Lewis to end the game. On the night, He was 29 for 52 for 307 yards with no TD’s and five picks. He had a QB rating of 33.6. Between Thursday night and the loss to the Packers in week one, he has thrown 9 of his 17 interceptions. San Fran did just enough to get the win. They put up just 216 yards. However, RB Frank Gore that put up 110 yards. Alex Smith was 16 for 23 for 118 yards with no TD’s and a pick, but he didn’t make the killer mistakes that Cutler did.
The only TD of the night came in the second quarter with the Bears up 3-0. Cutler was picked by Tarell Brown who returned it to the Bears 14. Gore took care of the rest by running14 yards out to give San Fran the 7-3 lead.
Luckily they held on for the rest of the night, to finally break their 4 game losing streak.
