We got it working.

Bears 42 - Seahawks 13
Despite the big margin I played pretty sloppy in this one, Cutler threw three picks on balls I had absolutely no business throwing (so just like him).
I don't know what it is, but somewhere between the other league and this one I learned how to play defense, as the Bears D is just really hard to move the ball on and always seems to be right there with the key tackle or forced fumble.
Hester scored both on offense and on a long punt return. My last TD (97 yards to Forte) might seem like a score runner upper under two minutes, but really it was just one of those "backed up against the endzone try a high percentage pass to the HB to get some room for the punt" throws and Forte just took off.
The big blow is I lost Johnny Knox for 4 weeks after a brutal hit. It wasn't dirty or anything, he caught a pass along the sideline and took a few steps before Earl Thomas just absolutely pulverized him (I hate that the hit stick causes so many injuries, but that's a question for another day). At least it wasn't a broken collarbone, which is what I thought when I first saw the hit. The 4 weeks includes this one and my bye week, so he'll really only miss two games, could be a lot worse. Makes me glad I got Heap, since I can slide Olsen over to WR (where he's actually my top rated receiver) while Knox is out.
