For the first time since the glory days of Sid Luckman, Johnny Lujack and Ed Brown over a half-century ago, the Bears offense is carrying the load for a team that sits atop the division.
So begins the NFL.com story on the Thursday Night Football victory of the 4-2 Chicago Bears over the 0-6 New York Giants. Jay Cutler is Sid Luckman? Really?
Brandon Marshall is a believer. And he says Cutler deserves the credit for Thursday night's 27-21 win: "He's unbelievable. He's unbelievable. I'm at a loss for words when I talk about him. Sometimes the light just flips on for a guy." (The Chicago Tribune thought Marshall was the difference maker, by the way.)
