Chicago Bears – The Jay Cutler Experience Isn’t for the Faint of Heart
Choosing Jay Cutler over Josh McCown might have been a bad decision by Marc Trestman early on for the Chicago Bears, but by the end of their 38-31 win over the Cleveland Browns it turned out to be the correct one.

Manchester United – Danny Welbeck Decision Shows David Moyes is Learning
Playing against an aggressive, counter attacking side on the road, David Moyes decided he’ll go for speed and physicality by using Danny Welbeck as his striker, playing ahead of Wayne Rooney and between two true wingers in Adnan Januzaj and Antonio Valencia.
