The Chicago Bears looked very impressive on Sunday in a 30-12 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. The Bears defense came to play, as usual, but it was the offensive performance that stood out for me.

QB Jay Cutler was solid, as his only interception was off a tipped pass that really wasn't his fault. He finished with 312 yards passing and two TDs to go along with that one INT for a QB rating of 107.8.

The line generally did a decent job of blocking, although Gabe Carimi had some trouble early and J'Marcus Webb is still a work in progress at left tackle.

Matt Forte continued his solid play, totaling 158 yards of offense, leading all Bears receivers with five catches.

Matt Ryan, meanwhile, was busy sidestepping a Bears pass rush that finished with five sacks and officially 11 QB hits. (TV announcers gave the Bears credit for 14 hits).

The Falcons running game did well but was limited because of an early Bears lead that forced Ryan and Atlanta to throw the ball 47 times. Micheal Turner rushed the ball for 100 yards on 10 carries.

The Bears also won the turnover battle, three-to-one, so again, it was an impressive performance. So what specifically did we learn from this game? Read on, young football fans, and you will find out.
