LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Chicago Bears coach Marc Trestman wants Jay Cutler “to play better,” but benching the embattled quarterback isn’t under consideration, even after his dud of a performance during a 55-14 debacle Sunday night at Green Bay.
“He didn’t play well enough yesterday, and we didn’t play well enough,” Trestman said. “I’m certain he’d take accountability for that. But it’s very clear he did not play well enough yesterday. We can’t sugarcoat that. At the same time, we didn’t play collectively well enough as a team.”
Cutler completed 22 of 37 passes for 272 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions, including one that ricocheted off the helmet of Kyle Long into the hands of Casey Hayward, who returned the pick 82 yards for a touchdown. Cutler also coughed the ball up on a strip sack by Julius Peppers that led to Aaron Rodgers’ fourth touchdown pass of the second quarter.
Cutler finished the game with a passer rating of 68.8, his worst of the season. He has thrown 22 interceptions in 12 career games against the Packers and is 1-11 against them.
Even Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker took to Twitter to comment on Cutler’s poor play.
