| Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith indicated the team will pursue a backup quarterback during the offseason. QB Nathan Enderle is the only other quarterback under contract besides starter QB Jay Cutler. 'We have a lot of options out there. I think this is an attractive place for a quarterback,' Smith said. 'We're going to look at all people. And I'm talking about (QB Caleb Hanie), (QB Josh McCown) and free agent quarterbacks out there. I just feel like we'll be able to strengthen that position more than we were this past year.' |

| Chicago Bears QB Josh McCown has done enough since signing a one-year contract last week to be part of the team's offseason conversation. The team gained a season-high 441 yards in Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers. 'I think everything you do, you have to look at the performance and the performance Josh put in (Sunday night) was impressive,' head coach Lovie Smith said. 'That's why we can get so much done this week. We want to see him have an opportunity to come back and play again this coming week. You normally can find a spot for a player that played the way he played (Sunday night).' |

| Chicago Bears QB Josh McCown completed 19 of 28 passes for 242 yards, one touchdowns and two interceptions in the Week 16 game against the Green Bay Packers. McCown also racked up 38 yards on eight rushes, and he made a nice hustling play to recover a fumble by RB Kahlil Bell in the second half. |
| Fantasy Impact: McCown gave the offense a spark. He looked a lot better than Caleb Hanie has the past few weeks. |

| Chicago Bears QB Josh McCown, named the Week 16 starter Wednesday, Dec. 21, might have a chance to get offered a contract for 2012 if he shows well in the final two games. That would bring him into the offseason program and have him go to training camp with the team in July. 'If I keep looking back and saying, 'I only got here six weeks ago,' then it becomes an excuse (and) I think you leave an area for you not to play well because you're leaving something to fall back on,' McCown said. |

| Chicago Bears QB Josh McCown will be given the opportunity to win the starting job for the team's Week 16 game against the Green Bay Packers, according to multiple sources. He could earn the job if he shows the team enough in practice this week. QB Caleb Hanie has tossed nine interceptions in four games. |
| Fantasy Impact: McCown should really be given a shot to start Week 16. It can't hurt at this point. |
