Lately, the Chicago Bears have seemed like one of the best offenses in NFL. They've scored at least 24 points in each of their last 4 games (4 wins), and subsequently have scored at least 24 points in each of their wins this season. However, the Bears offense has been far from great and Jay Cutler still remains somewhat inconsistent as their QB.
During their winning streak, Jay Cutler has posted QB ratings of 115.9, 60.2, 96.9 and 68.5 (in the order). He's also turned the ball over at least once in each of those games. In the last few games, Mike Martz has focused more on getting protection for Cutler and has called more short-passes than he's typically known for. After getting sacked 14 times in the Bears' first 3 games of the season, Cutler has been sacked just 5 times during the 4-game winning streak.
The key to the Bears' offense is actually Matt Forte, who might be voted to the Pro Bowl this season. He's rushed for more than 5 yards per carry in 5 out of the last 6 Bears games, only being slowed by a tough Detroit Lions defensive line last week.
