Either way, the bottom line is that Cutler is in the midst of his most efficient season since joining the Bears in 2009. After tying for the NFL lead with 18 interceptions last season, the 10-year veteran has thrown just seven picks this year.
"It goes back to a lot of the scheme and the way Adam calls plays and designs stuff, and the coaching," Cutler said. "There is always an emphasis of knowing where everyone is at and not forcing balls. If we have to punt, we have to do it."
Cutler threw multiple interceptions in 26 games over his first six seasons with the Bears, including seven contests last year.
