Lake Forest, Illinois-The Bears got star receiver Brandon Marshall to be their go-to weapon on offense, but not their only weapon.
But a quarter of the way through the season it's Marshall with over a third of the team's receiving yards and two of Cutler's passing touchdowns.
"Teams are going to try to take B away and just make other guys make players," says Jay Cutler. "I think that's going to be the philosophy behind that. They're going to beat defensively that they can cover those other guys and not let B beat them."
Devin Hester made his presence known with a 34 yard touchdown catch in Dallas. He's one of many weapons on offense the Bears have, and they think they can utilize better.
"I really feel like we have an explosive player there," said offensive coordinator Mike Tice. "When we're going to get certain coverages there we need to take advantage of that with him."
One problem you won't see plaguing the Bears' offense is jealousy. Although that unit has many talented players winning takes priority over individual stats.
"We check our egos at the door," said Marshall. Whether it's the coaches or the players. We're all in this together. We all have the same common goal."
