He had to throw it high because of the underneath coverage or put more of an arc on it - good throw, great catch. Very quietily, the much maligned Cutler is having a pretty nice year. Fox and Case are evidently much better at whispering in his ear than Trestman was. Fox is really doing a nice job with that team considering Cutler's history and the relative lack of talent there.
You obviously saw something I did not see. I saw a bullet about 4-5 feet over his head that he managed to tag and recover. Outside of this play, I do agree that Cutler had an overall decent game.
