>>Marshall Vents After Loss

Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is brushing off some comments from wide receiver Brandon Marshall.

Cutler says Marshall "wants to be personally successful" but realizes "everyone has to contribute."

The Bears are coming off their second straight loss after falling to New Orleans on Sunday. With the Saints double-teaming Marshall, he was targeted just five times and finished with 30 yards and a touchdown on four catches.

Teammate Alshon Jeffery had a franchise record with 218 yards on a career-high 10 catches - just what the Bears need with teams focusing on Marshall.

>>Report: Packers' Matthews To Miss A Month

(Undated) -- Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews is expected to a month of action with a broken thumb. ESPN.com reports Matthews will likely need surgery on the thumb. He suffered the injury in Sunday's home win over the Detroit Lions. Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said he is hopeful Matthews won't miss the rest of the season. The four-time Pro Bowler has 18 tackles and three sacks in four games this season for the 2-and-2 Packers. Green Bay travels to Baltimore this Sunday.

>>Folk Sends Jets Past Falcons On "MNF"

(Atlanta, GA) -- Nick Folk booted a 43-yard field goal as time expired to send the Jets to a 30-28 win over the Falcons at the Georgia Dome on "Monday Night Football." The Jets held a ten-point halftime lead before Atlanta stormed back in the fourth quarter to take a one-point advantage. Geno Smith then led New York down the field in the final minute for the winning score. The rookie signal-caller finished 16-of-20 for 199 yards with three touchdowns as Gang Green improved to 3-and-2. Matt Ryan threw for 319 yards with two touchdowns but lost a fumble in the defeat. Jacquizz Rodgers ran for 43 yards and two touchdowns as Atlanta fell to 1-and-4.

>>Bears' Collins Out For Season With ACL

Collins suffered the injury late in the third quarter of Sunday's 26-18 home loss to the Saints. The 25-year-old Collins had 14 tackles and one sack in five games this season. The Bears are already without defensive tackle Henry Melton, who was lost for the season two weeks ago with a torn ACL.
