CHICAGO -- Quarterback Jay Cutler left Sunday's NFC championship game in the third quarter with a knee injury.

Just when Cutler suffered the injury was unclear. What was crystal clear to the sold-out Soldier Field crowd, however, was that the Chicago Bears -- already down 14-0 to the rival Green Bay Packers when Cutler departed -- were in a world of trouble with 39-year-old backup Todd Collins in the game.

Cutler, who passed for two scores and rushed for two more during last week's divisional-round defeat of Seattle, started the second half as the Bears went three-and-out. He threw an incompletion on third down and was 6 of 14 for 80 yards and an interception when he left the game.
