BEARS ...30 BROWNS ...6 Jay Cutler threw for 225 yards, Matt Forte ran for two touchdowns and the Bears easily beat the bumbling Browns. Cleveland quarterback Derek Anderson had another miserable day and was lifted for Brady Quinn, the man he replaced in Week 3, with about 3 minutes left in the game.

But it was effective enough. ...more

The Bills were undone by an offense that managed 204 yards and nine first downs, with only three coming in the second half. Buffalo squandered another opportunistic performance by its defense, which forced three turnovers. ...more
