Every week of the 2015 Chicago Bears season, Chicago Sun-Times Sports will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the 1985 Bears by speaking with players from the team including Jimbo Covert, Dan Hampton, Dennis McKinnon and Otis Wilson.

Since returning from his hamstring injury, Jay Cutler has led the Chicago Bears to two-straight victories.

His touchdown pass to Matt Forte at the end of the Kansas City Chiefs game in week five has the Bears looking to get back to .500 against the Detroit Lions in week six.

Below take a look at how a few of the members of the 1985 Bears are feeling about Cutler at this moment in time.
