Cutler's QB rating during 98-yard drive: 129.16

129.16: Jay Cutler's passer rating during the Bears' 98-yard touchdown drive shortly before halftime. Cutler connected on 7 of 10 passes for 85 yards and the 6-yard TD pass to Matt Forte. He also extended the drive on third down when he drew a 15-yard roughing penalty from Denver DE Elvis Dumervil with a bit of a dive.

5: The number of receivers Cutler hit during the 98-yard scoring drive. Greg Olsen and Earl Bennett caught 2 passes, but Devin Hester chipped in a key third-down catch, Devin Aromashodu made a play and Matt Forte dove for the touchdown catch.

80 percent: How defensive tackle Tommie Harris described his left knee's health to NBC analyst Cris Collingsworth. Harris, whose playing status was iffy before the game, wound up playing 26 of the Bears' 30 defensive snaps in the first half.

61.1 percent: The number of times the Bears used at least two tight ends (22 of 36 snaps) while the first-string played. Greg Olsen and/or Desmond Clark lined up wide as often as not to emphasize the offense's multiple looks.

2: The number of tackles cornerback Trumaine McBride missed on Denver's first 10 plays. Ex-Bear Brandon Lloyd also burned him with an impressive catch inside the 1-yard line. Expected starters Charles Tillman (back) and Zackary Bowman (hamstring) sat out their third consecutive exhibition.
