Cutler Happens

Jay Cutler and the Beans ended the Chickens' season for the 2nd year in a row

With both of their seasons on the line, the Beans-Chickens match-up for the NFC Wild Card turned out to be a microcosm of their seasons. The Chickens didn't select the right QB and the Beans came back to win.

Jay Cutler led the charge for the second year in a row, totaling 357 passing yards and 2 TDs for the Beans as the Chargers trio of Philip Rivers, Antonio Gates and LaDainian Tomlinson could muster only 6 points for the Chickens, securing a 36-32 victory. The Beans move on to face the Dragons while the Chickens are left with another season of what-ifs and disappointment. Owner Mike Kinsman has yet to make any announcement about future plans for GM Nick Wood, but it should be a hot topic during the off-season.

Elsewhere around the league, the Eaters wrapped up the AFC Wild Card with a decisive victory over the Buddies, and the Thugs and Huskers qualified for byes into the second round of the playoffs. The march to Super Bowl XVI starts today!
