In Week 8 of the 2012 season against Carolina, Jay Cutler faced significant pressure and turnovers. He was sacked six times in the first half alone, throwing an interception and losing two fumbles. However, he rallied late, connecting with Kellen Davis for a 12-yard touchdown with under seven minutes remaining, then completing six of seven passes for 52 yards on the game-winning drive. Cutler finished 19-of-28 for 186 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Bears' 23-22 comeback victory.PositiveProjectionOct 17, 2026
In the 2014 Week 6 game against Atlanta, Cutler put together one of his best performances in a Bears uniform, completing 26-of-38 passes for 381 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions, setting what would stand as his highest single-game passing total during his time in Chicago.PositiveProjectionOct 10, 2026

Jay Cutler finished his Bears career against Green Bay with a 2-11 record, including a playoff loss; his era was defined by the hope that his 2nd season would overwhelm Aaron Rodgers' 3rd season, but the Packers dominated the 2009-2016 period 14-3. Cutler's only notable win in the series after 2010 was a 17-13 Thanksgiving victory in 2015 when the Packers were retiring Favre's jersey, a game Cutler hadn't won since 2010. The Packers tied the series in 2016 with a 30-27 win, officially ending Cutler's era.NegativeInjuryOct 10, 2026
Jay Cutler left the 2010 NFC Championship game with a real injury and did not return; the source emphasizes this was 'a REAL injury' in response to historical debate about his toughness. Multiple ex-teammates questioned his mental toughness in that game: D.J. Moore said Cutler wasn't 'giving him pointers' when backup Hanie entered, and Rashied Davis distinguished between physical and mental toughness, questioning whether Cutler had the mental toughness needed to lead a team. Corey Wootton noted Cutler wasn't a vocal leader like Drew Brees or Tom Brady despite being paid as a franchise QB. Lance Briggs said Cutler built a persona of not caring, which became his character in the league. Olin Kreutz, who also suffered a Lisfranc injury that game, noted that when a QB's plant leg is compromised, it fundamentally affects performance.
