ATLANTA — Jay Cutler brought his ‘A’ game to Atlanta. Chicago’s polarizing quarterback passed for a season-high 381 yards and a touchdown, leading the Bears to a 27-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday at the Georgia Dome.

Criticized for his inconsistency, Cutler made seemingly every big throw, fitting the ball into tight spots and connecting on multiple deep balls to wide receivers Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery, who each finished with more than 100 yards receiving.

Cutler completed 26 of 38 passes without an interception, helping the Bears (3-3) snap their two-game losing streak.

After the Falcons rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit to tie the score 13-13 in the third quarter, Cutler engineered two long scoring drives, capped by Matt Forte touchdown runs. Forte had another productive all-around game, finishing with 80 yards rushing and 77 yards receiving.

Atlanta (2-4) has lost three straight and suffered its first loss at home this season.

It didn’t feel like much of a home-field advantage. After quarterback Matt Ryan was sacked and then intercepted by Demontre Hurst late in the fourth quarter, the strong contingent of Bears fans at the Georgia Dome made their presence known and waved goodbye to departing Falcons fans.

Atlanta running back Antone Smith had a 41-yard catch and run in third quarter, and Matt Bryant kicked two field goals.

Ryan completed 18 of 35 passes for 257 yards with an interception and the touchdown to Smith. Falcons wide receiver/kick returner Devin Hester didn’t make much of an impact in his first game against his former team.

In what was expected to be a shootout, both offenses started slowly. The Falcons got a 52-yard field goal from Bryant on their first drive but couldn’t find their rhythm on offense the rest of the first half. Atlanta converted just once on five third downs and had 29 yards rushing in the first half.

The Bears grabbed the lead midway through the second quarter when Cutler found wide receiver Josh Morgan on a short touchdown pass to make it 10-3. The seven-play, 79-yard drive was highlighted by a 47-yard completion to Marshall. Cutler was under intense heat but managed to launch a perfect pass off his back foot to Marshall to set up the score.

Chicago added to the lead on the final drive of the first half with Robbie Gould’s second field goal, a 28-yarder that made it 13-3 at halftime.

Jeffery caught five passes for 136 yards. Marshall had six receptions for 113 yards.
