Chart: Looking ahead (after the bye week) to the Bears

November 12, 2012 at 12:53PM

NEXT OPPONENT:

CHICAGO (7-2)

The Bears lead the NFL in interceptions (19), recording two more Sunday night, and have returned seven of them for touchdowns. They also forced 16 fumbles.

BEARS WEEK 10

Houston 13, Chicago 6

The Bears, ranked 24th in the league in offense, suffered a blow when QB Jay Cutler left the game because of a concussion.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

Jay Cutler, QB

It's too early to say what his status will be two weeks from now. The addition of WR Brandon Marshall has rejuvenated Cutler, who connected with the wideout 61 times for seven touchdowns.

OUTLOOK

The Bears have a Monday night game at San Francisco before facing the Vikings, who will be rested after a bye week. Still, the Bears defense awaits on a cold field. Outlook: Horns down.
