Cutler back from injury
Print Edition
CHICAGO quarterback Jay Cutler returned from a long injury absence to lead the Bears to an upset 20-10 win against Minnesota on Monday.
Cutler, who missed five weeks with a thumb sprain, threw for 252 yards and a touchdown while rookie Jordan Howard ran for a career-high 153 yards and a TD.
The Bears (2-6) sacked Minnesota quarterback Sam Bradford five times while handing the NFC North-leading Vikings (5-2) their second straight loss after a strong start to the season.
Cutler had not played since he exited against Philadelphia in the second game of the season. He completed 20 of 31 pass attempts, including an 11-yard touchdown to Alshon Jeffery early in the third quarter that made it 20-3. Whether he did enough to convince his doubters is moot because the alternative Bears QB, Brian Hoyer, broke an arm last week at Green Bay.
Howard had a 69-yard run, the longest for Chicago in seven years.
