(MCT) — Jay Cutler could give the Bears an edge in nearly every game the remainder of this season.

At 7-1, the team is halfway to its second playoff appearance with Cutler in his fourth year with the club.

The Texans, also 7-1, come into Soldier Field on Sunday night with efficient Matt Schaub directing their passing attack that is based in large part on an effective play-action game. He’s eighth in NFL history in accuracy and has been one of the best road quarterbacks over the last two seasons with a 107.2 passer rating away from Reliant Stadium.
