The first half was a poor showing for Cutler. Marc Trestman somehow worked his magic at halftime, as Cutler looked completely different down the stretch.
Fantasy impact: Cutler has attempted 83 passes over his first two games. That’s what fantasy owners want to see. Some may have sat him coming into Week 2 due to the rumors of Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery sitting out, but both wide receivers played. Marshall finished with three touchdown receptions.
The Bears face the New York Jets next week. After seeing what Cutler is capable of against a quality defense, owners will want to have him in their starting lineups, assuming his weapons are healthy enough to play again.
