Streaking/Slumping for Oct. 18
Ben Finfer looks at who was streaking and slumping in Sunday's Bears-Falcons game
Bears versus Falcons edition
 |  | Jay CutlerThe red zone interception in the first quarter was a killer especially because the Bears lost by one touchdown. He also failed to get the ball in the end zone at the end of the game. On the bright side, he was the Bears' leading rusher. |
 | | Offensive LineSomehow the Falcons defensive line learned the secret password for getting past Orlando Pace and Frank Omiyale. And remember when a simple back injury was the biggest concern for Chris Williams? |
 | | Lovie SmithThis looked like a team that had only four days of preparation. In reality, Smith and his crew had two weeks. He should let someone else coach if the Bears have to go back to the Georgia Dome next season. |
 |  | Charles TillmanAtlanta's ace wide receiver Roddy White had one touchdown, but besides that he wasn't much of a factor. That's because he was being shadowed by Tillman. Next up for the cornerback...annoying Chad Ochocinco. |
 | | Johnny KnoxThe rookie wide receiver has a touchdown in four consecutive games. Maybe it's time for Ron Turner to begin using him in a Wildcat formation. Or whatever cute Abilene Christian-related name they give it. |
 | | Special TeamsA penalty for too many men on the field? Really? Also, the 62-yard kickoff return by Atlanta's Eric Weems was a game changer. Who figured Adrian Peterson would be missed that much? |
 | | Pisa TinoisamoaHe played well in his return from a knee injury. But that only lasted until he re-injured it in the fourth quarter. If his season is over, the only person who will be happy is the guy who has to sew "Tinoisamoa" on the back of a jersey each week. |
 | | Nathan VasherWhen Tillman needed a break Vasher stepped in and intercepted a Matt Ryan fourth-quarter pass. It was a huge play and will surely be heavily featured in the 2009 Vasher highlight reel. |
 | | Mark AndersonHe was absent in his final attempt to prove himself to Bears coaches. New defensive end Gaines Adams will begin taking some of his snaps next week. Welcome to the sidelines, Mr. Anderson. Have you met Mr. Vasher? |
 | | Greg OlsenFive catches, 57 yards and a game-tying touchdown in the fourth quarter suggests Olsen might be getting into a groove with Cutler. His blocking skills are still bad enough to make Pace and Omiyale laugh. |
