The Chicago Bears have had to address questions about a lack of leadership on the team after the team lost 27-14 to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday that dropped their record to 3-4 and set Brandon Marshall off on an emotional tirade afterward with Jay Cutler reportedly being called out by his longtime teammate.

Cutler met with the media for this first time since Sunday to address the reports that there is any animosity or a rift between the two and what exactly happened in the locker room following the loss and if it can have any lingering effects throughout the season
CBS and Chicago Bears radio network sideline reporter Zach Zaidman relays the quotes from Cutler from Thursday’s meeting with the media after practice.

Unlike some of the media who had four or five days to talk and write about this story from Sunday, Cutler and the Bears were over it the moment they left the locker room, so maybe it is time for this story to go away.
Cutler doesn’t think Marshall crossed the line, he wasn’t the only one frustrated and when the two spoke the next day, everything was fine and they just want to win.
