Jay Cutler brought the Bears back from the dead with a game-winning field-goal drive in the final two minutes of Sunday’s win over Oakland, and after the game, tight end Martellus Bennett compared Cutler to Jesus.
According to Chicago Sun-Times reporter Patrick Finley, Bennett said, just like Jesus, Cutler is an “excellent guy who did some awesome stuff.”
is Jay Cutler too often criticized? Martellus: "They threw rocks at Jesus, & Jesus was an excellent guy who did a lot of awesome stuff."

Cutler has been highly scrutinized during his seven seasons in Chicago, having been labeled as both turnover and injury-prone.
But he was the savior Sunday as he drove the Bears 48 yards in just over two minutes to set up Robbie Gould’s game-winning, 49-yard field goal.
Bennett also compared Cutler to fictional character Shane Falco, from the movie “The Replacements,” which, you know, is probably a more suitable comparison than Jesus.
