Welcome to Week Under Review, where Week 5 may have planted the seeds to good news on the NFL ratings front, a little engine keeps ticking and a disturbing analogy must be quickly dispersed. But first to Chicago where the Bears are close to admitting they just wasted seven years…
Career journeyman quarterback Brian Hoyer just completed his third straight 300-yard passing game for the Bears. Josh McCown, another career journeyman, achieved the same trifecta for Chicago in 2013. You know who has never strung together three consecutive 300-plus-yard games? Jay Cutler. Statistical disappointment is just part of the reason things seem to be heading south for Cutler’s tenure with the Bears.
