Thats what you want to see.Chicago got to the New York 30 in the final two minutes but Jason Pierre-Paul had a 13-yard sack and Cutler was picked off by Collins, his fifth interception in the last four games.I even told some guys that it is time to blow up, it is on us, and guys responded, said Pierre-Paul, whose 2 1/2 sacks were his best performance since injuring a hand in a fireworks accident last year. I responded myself. I cant just do the talking, I have to show up and we came out with a win.Cutler found Miller for a 19-yard TD on the opening possession.
