LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Pernell McPhee stole a page out of Marshawn Lynch’s playbook when questioned how the Bears dealt with his heated, one-sided exchange with quarterback Jay Cutler during Chicago’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football in Week 2.
“Man, I’m just here so I won’t get fined,” McPhee said on Tuesday.
McPhee had been off-limits to the media for almost the entire year because of a knee injury that landed him on the physically unable to perform list (PUP).
Television cameras caught McPhee, in street clothes, bumping and yelling at Cutler after the quarterback tossed a critical third quarter interception.
