CHICAGO -- Jay Cutler shook off a rib injury, Brian Urlacher made a key fumble recovery and the Chicago Bears won their fourth consecutive game by beating the Detroit Lions 13-7 on Monday night.
That happened in the second quarter when Cutler was sacked by Ndamukong Suh and ultimately wound up going to the locker room to have his ribs examined.
It was a huge blow for last-place Detroit, a team many expected to contend for the division title after making the playoffs for the first time in more than a decade.
