Chicago Bears To Start Jimmy Clausen Versus Detroit Lions

The Chicago Bears announced late last night that they were benching highly paid starter Jay Cutler in favor of Jimmy Clausen this week against the Detroit Lions.  The move was a bit of a shocker as Cutler has always given the Bears a chance to win, even though they usually don’t.  Clausen, on the other hand, is 1-9 as an NFL starter and has not started a game since 2010.  The move on paper looks to favor the Lions but moves like this always seem to hurt them.  Needless to say, the Bears made this week interesting.
