Offensive – Cutler has done his best after being thrust into the mix with all new targets late in the offseason. Even though he has a league-leading 22 interceptions, Cutler has also put up solid numbers. He has completed 284 of 457 passes for a franchise-best 62.1 percentage, 3,023 yards and 19 touchdowns. Cutler has also reached 3,000 yards in only 13 games, another Bears record.
Defensive – Briggs is having a career season, posting a personal-best 113 tackles and three sacks. It was thought that Briggs was going to be cast off this offseason, but he has stepped up for this defense. Even though Briggs has been outspoken about personnel moves lately, but he is respected in the locker room.
