In a much needed win on Sunday, the Bears gave their fans something to be happy about. Even if it was against the lowly Cleveland Browns. On a day where the Bears honored the 10 year anniversary of the great Walter Payton's death, the defense shined for the Bears.
Matt Forte rushed for two touchdowns and Jay Cutler threw for over 200 yards to give the Bears a 30-6 win over the Browns.
The defense forced a couple turnovers, something we have not seen a lot of this season. Daniel Manning had a diving interception, along with a pick-six from Peanut Tillman to all but seal the game.
Still though, there was some negative spots along with this win.
The offensive line cant block anyone. Allowing a season high four sacks, and almost getting Cutler killed on a roughing the passer call in the second quarter. The offensive line must be improved, or this team wont get any better.
Matt Forte looked to be in sync as well. Going for 90 yards and two touchdowns, we will see if this is a boost for him. Something the Bears will need.
The real test comes the next four weeks for the Bears. A home game against the defending NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals, then a trip to San Fransisco for a Thursday night showdown. The Bears will then play host on a Sunday Night game to the high flying Philadelphia Eagles, before a pivotal game against NFC North leading Minnesota Vikings.
The Bears will most certainly need to win at least two, but to overtake Minnesota, winning three would be the best option.
These four games are crucial. We will find out where the Bears stand in the NFC, and see if their playoff hopes stay alive.
