You could just see how badly Cutler wanted to win this game... He wanted it so bad that, for the first time, I saw him pressed under the weight of the moment.
TWICE on the goalline he dropped the ball, and then that INT.
He had a great game... those were the only mistakes of the game and they came right when Cutler was about to reach the mountain top (so to speak).
We k ow he's cool under pressure, but he understood the gravity of this situation... of this game... what it means to be 2-0 (or 1-1), and how the landscape of the AFC West changes.
I don't view his "hiccups" as choking, but more like trying to hard... rushing the moment.
We saw when Cutler was given another life... He collected himself and slowed the game down and made TWO great throws to Royal.
IS this the turning point? IDK... That game against CLE, even though the lost, was big to prove he could drive the team and comeback.
I do think, had he lost... This "monkey" would become a problem. He would have to hear about NOT being able to beat SD, and maybe that snowballs for a few years?
RIVERS looked stunned... shocked after the game...
Maybe this is a turning point? Maybe not? Cutler is Mr.Cool regardless... only THIS SD team seems under his skin... NOW, he knows he can beat them... I bet you'll be pressed to see Cutler rush himself, seem tense, when the big moment arrives again!
