Social media detectives think that former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has somehow jinxed his former NFL team amid their eight-game losing streak.
The Bears looked like playoff contenders early in the season, winning four of their first six games. But Jay Cutler’s old team has imploded with eight straight defeats, starting with Jayden Daniels’ “Madhouse in Maryland” Hail Mary game-winning touchdown back in Week 8.
As noted by X/Twitter user @jack_bfr, the Bears haven’t won a game since Cutler was arrested for driving under the influence on Oct. 17 in Tennessee. 10 days after his arrest, the Bears’ losing skid began against Washington.
Social media had all sorts of reactions to this viral post on Jay Cutler and the Bears:
“Harsh but fair,” a fan claimed.

“That, and the Vikings Lions Packers are loaded,” another pointed out.
“This could be a while,” said a fan.
“Damn facts are facts,” wrote another.
“Wow way to friggin go Jay, thanks,” said one fan.
“Bears still blaming Jay Cutler for their struggles,” quipped a user.
“I don’t think it’s a coincidence,” a fan wrote.
“@JoeBiden has one more pardon in him. Free Cutler so the #Bears can get back to ruining a potentially high draft pick,” stated another.
Jay Cutler Holds Most Bears’ Major Passing Records
Cutler is one of the most polarizing athletes in Chicago history, but he’s also responsible for their last playoff win (in the 2010 season). Additionally, he holds every significant franchise passing record, including yards (23,443) and completions (2,020).
VIDEO: Troy Aikman Dropped An Insane Trade Proposal Involving The Chicago Bears During ‘Monday Night Football’ That Could Save Caleb Williams’ Career

Troy Aikman is one of the most well-known names in pro football. Aikman was a member of the Dallas Cowboys, quarterbacking the team to their last Super Bowl victory in 1996. He is now a broadcaster for ESPN.
One of this week’s Monday Night Football games occurred last night as the Chicago Bears took on the Minnesota Vikings. The Bears have been struggling all season after bringing in former USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the first overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft.
While Williams may be to blame for some of Chicago’s mishaps this season, the Bears have made several moves in the coaching department this season. These moves were recently headlined after they fired Matt Eberflus following some horrible clock management.
With the Bears in so much coaching turmoil after firing both their head coach and offensive coordinator this season, it seems as though the aforementioned Troy Aikman is offering the Bears some advice on who to look at for their next hire.
Troy Aikman Suggests The Bears Go After Kyle Shanahan
“There has been discussion about, ‘Do you give up some picks and see if you can maybe make a deal for a guy like Kyle Shanahan,” Aikman said as the Bears were being pummeled by the Vikings by a score of 27 to 6.

Aikman went on to confirm his thoughts on the ordeal, claiming that it would be an excellent idea for the folks in Chicago. “I would be all in on that. Because he would develop a quarterback and is a hell of a head coach,” he said.
Under Matt Eberflus, the Bears went 14-32 before he was fired after week 13. Shanahan’s 70-59 regular-season coaching record would be a way better option for the Bears than what they have been used to recently.
