Keeping Score: Now for the Positive: Jay Cutler Becomes Bears’ Top Passer

When you think about Jay Cutler, you might think about ... well, what do you think about?

A decent performance in a loss? An untimely interception? An 8-8 record? His marriage to the reality TV star Kristin Cavallari?

Perhaps the name conjures a boozy fan yelling, “Cutlaaaaaah,” not necessarily in a positive way.

But on Monday night, the much maligned Cutler officially became the greatest touchdown passer in Bears history, connecting for Nos. 138 and 139 to surpass Sid Luckman’s mark of 137. Chicago won in San Diego, 22-19.

In the storied history of the Bears, there have been surprisingly few dominant passers.
