LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) -Jay Cutler was sore and a bit black and blue. He ran five times for 32 yards but absorbed four sacks and spent plenty of time also running for cover in the Chicago Bears' 30-6 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. One hit caused him to bite his tongue, leaving him with a bloody mouth. The Bears certainly took a beating during the win, particularly the guy behind center who also happens to carry the franchise's long-term hopes in his right arm. Cutler's been on the move all seas |

Lewis said Wednesday he still intends to call it quits at the end of this season, his 10th in the NFL. He announced his decision following Sunday's 30-6 loss in Chicago, leading some to wonder if the 30-year-old was speaking from frustration and emotion. He maintains Cleveland's Jan. 3 home game against Jacksonville will be his last. Lewis is disappointed with the Browns' 1-7 record, bu |

| e things." BEARS: Those questioning whether Jay Cutler truly had the competitive fire to be a successful NFL quarterback aren't questioning now. Well, the competitive fire part, anyway. Cutler displayed his frustrations late in a 30-6 blowout of the Cleveland Browns, when the Bears offense failed to finish off a long drive for a touchdown. In seven red-zone trips on the day, the Bears punched it the end zone just twice, and against a Browns defense that continues to rank at or near the bottom of the league in m |

And, for the second straight year, Jack Del Rio's team chose the darker path. Last season, it was a home loss to the woeful Cleveland Browns that precipitated the Jags' descent to an eventual last-place finish. On Sunday, Jacksonville went to Tennessee and handed the Titans their first win of the year, 30-13, in a game that saw Del Rio and company fall apart soon after a 79- yard touchdo |

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) -Jay Cutler was on the run and bleeding for much of the game, yet he insisted afterward he was fine. No reason to worry. Even so, the Chicago Bears did little to calm their anxious fans in a 30-6 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Lopsided score aside, it was far from a perfect performance by a team that had dropped two straight and was coming off a 45-10 beating at Cincinnati that ranked among its worst in years. But the Bears weren't about to be picky. Not after what happen |
