The Bears' 19-14 win over the visiting Lions on Sunday shouldn't feel like one.
Sure, on offense, quarterback Jay Cutler threw for a bunch of yards (372) and connected very nicely with running back Matt Forte (151 yards receiving, second most among Bears rushers of all time).
Even still, the front line looked as messy as a toddler making a mud pie and there was clear confusion between Cutler and receivers. You know—same old, same old.
