49ers beat Bears 10-6, end 4-game skid

As soon as Jay Cutler’s fifth interception landed in Michael Lewis’ hands and the clock ran out, Mike Singletary embraced his assistants with a huge sense of a relief.
It wasn’t about beating his old Chicago Bears team. Samurai Mike was just thankful to get a victory of any kind after four straight losses by his San Francisco 49ers.
Frank Gore ran for 104 yards and a touchdown and the 49ers took advantage of another horrific day by Cutler to snap their losing streak with a 10-6 victory over the Bears on Thursday night.

San Francisco coach Mike Singletary didn’t exactly hand it to his old team. Instead, Cutler handed the desperate 49ers a much-needed win.

“I think it meant more for coach the way the game was played and the way we won the game,” said safety Mark Roman, who had one of the interceptions. “He doesn’t care about all the extra stuff. He loves this team. He loves what we are about. He loves our resiliency. Anytime we win like that he’s excited and happy for us.”

Singletary had a Hall of Fame career during his 12 years in Chicago, winning two Defensive Player of the Year awards, being selected to 10 Pro Bowls and winning the Super Bowl following the 1985 season. He said it was an “overwhelming feeling” when he first faced the Bears as an assistant in 2005. But he said this time the Bears were “just another team on the schedule.”

Cutler threw an incompletion in the end zone on first down before the interception by Lewis sealed it. The five interceptions by Cutler are tied for the most by a Bear since Zeke Bratkowski threw seven in a 42-7 loss to Baltimore on Oct. 2, 1960.

“It was tough. I have to apologize to the defense,” Cutler said. “I think the offense as a whole has to apologize. They played a great game and kept us in there even through all the turnovers.”

Even though Cutler has thrown an NFL-worst 17 interceptions this season, his teammates still have confidence in their quarterback with linebacker Lance Briggs saying, “Next week Jay is going to throw the winning touchdown.”

“I wouldn’t have wanted it to end any other way because as a secondary we felt like we played a pretty good game,” Roman said. “To have the game end on an interception by one of our secondary guys was a beautiful thing.”

Jaguars CB Mathis will be out for at least another week

By: wjx | 03/12/2009 | Football
Jaguars cornerback Rashean Mathis started running again this week. Backpedaling, shuffling and moving laterally, too. Although he feels much better, Mathis failed to convince Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio that he can play in a game. Del Rio ruled Mathis out for Sunday’s meeting with the Houston Texans, meaning the Jaguars (6-5) must defend All-Pro wide receiver Andre Johnson without their top defensive back.

Jets win to keep slim playoff hopes alive

By: wjx | 30/11/2009 | Football
The Panthers and the Jets are two clubs that have a lot in common. Both teams started 2009 with high expectations, yet sit at 4-6 in November. Neither team has an offensive identity, despite having strong rushing attacks, and each has a defense that looks good on paper, but isn’t able to close a game. The big difference is that the Jets started 3-0 and have gone 1-6 since, while the Panthers started 0-3 and have since gone 4-3.
