Martellus Bennett has quote of the year, compares Jay Cutler to Jesus

Chicago Bears tight end Martellus Bennett is a character. He once compared himself to a "black unicorn."

So of all the people in the NFL, the best quote of the season was going to come from either Martellus or his brother Michael, the gregarious defensive end with the Seattle Seahawks. Martellus delivered after the Bears' comeback victory against the Oakland Raiders, which was led by oft-criticized Jay Cutler.

The quote, in all its glory, comes from Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times:

You trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit an out route?

Cutler has been called a lot of things through his time in Chicago, but he has not been compared favorably to Jesus that often. Bears fans might have taken the name in vain a few times when discussing Cutler's latest interception, but that's it. (Does this make Kristin Cavallari the Mary Magdalene of Bennett's story? So many questions!)

Cutler did fine in his return to the lineup, playing through a hamstring injury and leading the game-winning drive that ended in a Robbie Gould field goal. Divine intervention?
