Report: Bears bench Cutler for Sunday's game
The Bears apparently have seen enough of quarterback Jay Cutler this season.
ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter, via a Twitter posting, said the Bears have decided to start Jimmy Clausen at quarterback on Sunday over Cutler, who has led the team to a 5-9 record.
Calling it a "stunner from Chicago," Schefter said anonymous sources "confirmed" that Clausen will start against the Detroit Lions in their noon game at Soldier Field.
