Bears | Cutler throws five INTs Week 10 Fri Nov 13, 12:43 AM
The Associated Press reports Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler was 29-for-52 for 307 yards with a career-high five interceptions Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers. Cutler has thrown four or more interceptions in a game twice this season, and he currently leads the league with 17 interceptions this year. He is the first Bears quarterback since QB Billy Wade in 1962 to have two games with four or more interceptions.
| Our view: Cutler threw two red zone picks, including one in the end zone to end the game. Cutler also threw a pick that happened because Devin Hester feel in his route, and another one when the umpire got in Hester's way, so it wasn't quite as bad as it looks. |
