http://www.espn.com/blog/chicago/be...n-jeffery-going-in-bears-upset-over-MinnesotaCHICAGO -- Five weeks of watching convinced Jay Cutler that Alshon Jeffery had to get more involved after halftime.
True to his word, Cutler, who returned to the lineup on Monday, prioritized Jeffery to begin the third quarter of the Chicago Bears' unexpected 20-10 victory over the Vikings, connecting with his top receiver for three receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown -- Jeffery’s first score of the season.
It was vintage Cutler against the Vikings. The veteran quarterback flirted with danger throughout the evening but never got burned. On several occasions, Minnesota nearly came up with interceptions, only to have the ball harmlessly fall to the turf.

We took care of business vs the Bears in the season opener in NRG but go blown out in Minnesota.
Go figure ?
Just goes to show how it's often difficult to draw accurate conclusions about different teams from matchups with a common opponent.
I do know this: Jay Cutler still has one of the best arms in the NFL and when he's on he's really formidable.
