Atlanta-- After 2 tough losses to the Packers and Panthers, the Bears get a huge win on the road at Falcons as the Bears evened there record at 3-3 with a 27-13 win. Here is my breakdown of the game: Jay Cutler in this game passed for the most yards as a Chicago Bear with 381 yards and the 1 touchdown pass to Josh Morgan as Cutler played well after 2 so so outings in the last two weeks. Matt Forte got his first two rushing touchdowns of the season, he had 80 yards on 17 carries, plus 10 catches for 77 yards. Brandon Marshall had his first real big time game with 6 catches for 113 yards including a 47 yard catch. His partner Alshon Jeffery was also huge with 5 catches for 136 yards to go along with a 74 yard catch where he outran a Falcon defender. Tight end Martellus Bennett had a good game as well with 5 catches for 52 yards. The Bears defense were missing there top 4 linebackers due to injury, they started undrafted rookie Christian Jones, 2nd year player Khaseem Greene and veteran Darryl Sharpton. I thought this would be big time trouble for the Bears, but the Bears were able to exploit the Falcons biggest weakness on offense, the offensive line. The d picked up 4 sacks which included Jared Allen getting his first as a Bear and Willie Young with 2 more who now has 6 which leads the whole NFL. I was really impressed again with Bears first round pick Kyle Fuller, he played excellent coverage against 2 good Falcon wideouts in Julio Jones who only had 4 catches on 12 targets and Roddy White to 3 catches on 6 targets, right now he is my vote for Defensive Rookie of the Year. The Bears had 478 of total offense, while the Falcons only had 287 yards. I give a huge congrats to the Bears special teams on totally corralling former Bear and greatest kick returner ever in Devin Hester. Hester only 1 catch for 23 yards and had 2 punt returns for 10 yards. Good job Bears special teams. Bears host the Miami Dolphins next week at Noon on CBS, then go to New England to take on Tom Brady and the Patriots, then the much needed bye week,
