Winning ugly

It wasn't pretty, but by gawd I'll take it! Any time you beat the defending Super Bowl Champs it's a good win. The Steelers are a tough team. After last week's dismal loss and the bad news about Urlacher, it was big for this team to come away with a win.

And, the Pack lost. To Cincinnati! Thank you, Bungles!

Good things in the game yesterday:

Cutler comes back from last week's disaster with two touchdown passes and no INTs. I thought he showed good poise against a tough pass rush and made the big plays when it counted the most.

Johnny Knox! Holy cow, the kid can play. After a pretty good game against the Pack, he comes up big against the Steelers in the home opener.

TEs Greg Olsen and Kellen Davis came up with some big catches. And Olsen falling on the Matt Forte fumble in the fourth quarter may have saved the game for the Bears.

The defensive line continues to get decent pressure on opposing QBs. Alex Brown came away with two sacks. It's good, but I think they can do better.

On to Seattle next week. That's a tougher game than a lot of people think, but I think the Bears should be able to come away with a win.
