NFL: Cutler, Bears pull away from Browns, 30-6

CHICAGO — Pounded the previous week and losers of two straight, the Chicago Bears couldn’t afford to go down again. Good thing for them that Derek Anderson and the Cleveland Browns were in town.
Jay Cutler threw for 225 yards, Matt Forte ran for two touchdowns and the Bears (4-3) beat the bumbling Browns 30-6 Sunday.
Anderson had another miserable day for the Browns (1-7) and was lifted for Brady Quinn, the man he replaced in Week 3, with about three minutes left in the game. Anderson completed just 6 of 17 passes for 76 yards and got intercepted twice.
That certainly didn’t help a rating that was already a league-low 40.6 entering this game. And now, the Browns appear to be back in a familiar spot: Deciding on a starting quarterback.
