The Bears offense got going early in Sunday’s matchup with the Arizona Cardinals.

Down seven, after a David Johnson 108-yard opening kickoff return, Jay Cutler led the pass offense down the field, and capped it off with a wide-open touch down pass to Joshua Bellamy for 48 yards.

At the start of the second quarter, Cutler was a perfect 6-of-6 on passing attempts for 90 yards and a score.

The Bears defense needs an efficient and effective Cutler if they hope to keep pace with a balanced Cardinals squad.
