>>With Marshall, Cutler Back Together, Bears Aim High
Jay Cutler wasn't quite sure what the results will be this time around. The last time he and Brandon Marshall were together, they were impressive.
Now the quarterback and Pro Bowl receiver are reunited in Chicago after forming an explosive tandem in Denver, and the Bears are eyeing a big run, starting with the season opener against Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
A major reason for that involves Cutler and Marshall. How much better can they be this time?
Cutler isn't sure. He credited former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan and assistant Jeremy Bates for being "very good about putting us in situations for us to be successful."
The Bears believe they're in a good spot, particularly after acquiring Marshall from Miami.

Miles Austin hauled in a 34-yard score via the air and DeMarco Murray had 131 yards on 20 carries in the win over their division rivals at MetLife Stadium. Eli Manning finished 21-of-32 for 213 yards with a nine-yard touchdown toss to former Cowboy tight end Martellus Bennett in the fourth quarter for New York. Ahmad Bradshaw added 78 yards and a score on the ground for the Giants, who become the first team since the Denver Broncos in 1999 to lose their first game of the season after hoisting the Lombardi Trophy the previous year.
