CHICAGO (AP) - Jay Cutler threw two touchdown passes and ran for
another, and the Chicago Bears pulled away in the second half to
beat the Detroit Lions 48-24 on Sunday after they snapped their
19-game losing streak last week.
Matt Forte ran for 121 yards, rookie Johnny Knox returned a
kickoff 102 yards and the Bears headed into their bye with their
third straight win.
The Lions were celebrating a win over Washington that snapped a
slide that matched the second-longest in league history a week
earlier. This time, they were holding their breath after watching
quarterback Matthew Stafford, the No. 1 draft pick, twist his right
knee while being sacked in the fourth quarter.
