Jay Cutler's QB Rating was 96.9 while Michael Vick was 60.5.

***Now the Bears return home to host Detroit at 3:15 in Soldier Field this coming Sunday. That will be the Bears after afternoon game after playing four in a row under the lights including the Tampa Bay game in London which started at 6pm local time(Noon in Chicago).

***The Bears are now 2-2 on the road this season,but this was the first win in front of a hostile crowd since the Buccaneers "Home" game against the Bears was in London.

***This has been a sad day in these parts,what with legendary Joe Frazier passing away after a brief bout with cancer at the age of 67(he's a long time Philadelphia resident), the scandal involving Penn State's Football Coaching staff(which does not including Joe Paterno),and with the Eagles getting upset by the Bears here at the "Linc".
