After defeating the San Diego Chargers, Chicago reigns as the new Super Bowl champions! And rather unexpectedly, SS Major Wright was the MVP of the game (winning the Pete Rozelle trophy thanks to his momentum-shifting pick-6 of Chargers QB Philip Rivers). Can they repeat any time soon? Da Bears are brimming with talent, but are expected to franchise tag Brian Urlacher to get at least one more year, draft heavy towards the defense, and lose key players DL Israel Adonije, Henry Melton, WR Johnny Knox, and DB DJ Moore, whom are all expected to test free agency now that they have their Super Bowl rings.
Play of the game: Calling and running the "Saints Post" 5-WR shotgun formation for their first and only time in the game, Cutler leaves the routes unmodified, notices the single-high safety look from the defense pre-snap, and after the snap, pump fakes to WR Brandon Marshall, which draws the relevant dropping linebacker as well as single-high safety far enough to the right to leave room for standout rookie WR Alshon Jeffery, who gets enough separation on his slot post route to leave room for an easy throw for 6, although since Jeffery's separation isn't entirely clean, he gets tackled immediately while making the catch but manages to hang on to the football. http://youtu.be/ClK4sKrqPQk?t=13m47s
