The "Movember" mustache of Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has grown stronger since he took this breather during the Nov. 4 blowout victory over the Tennessee Titans. But a concussion knocked Cutler from Sunday night's loss and his Monday radio show.

When you start shaving as a 10-year-old, you can grow a first-class mustache such as the one sported by master barber Paul Mirandola at Roosters Men's Grooming Center in Schaumburg.

About this Article

The concussion-inducing wallop delivered by Texans linebacker Tim Dobbins knocked the Bears quarterback Jay Cutler out of the game, out of his Monday radio show and maybe out of next week's Bears game. But it left Cutler's new mustache intact. Cutler is growing it for Movember, the annual prostate cancer awareness stunt that has Roosters Men's Grooming in Schaumburg crowing about the joy of 'stache.
