Jay Cutler led the Bears to their fifth straight victory Sunday. It could be his last game for a while.

The Chicago Tribune reported Sunday night that Cutler broke his right thumb during a 31-20 win over the Chargers and is expected to miss six to eight weeks.

The Bears (7-3) would not confirm the report. Cutler's agent, Bus Cook, did not return messages from The Associated Press. The Tribune reported that Cutler was injured trying to prevent a touchdown on a 64-yard interception return by Antoine Cason in the fourth quarter. Cutler got knocked to the ground by linebacker Donald Butler. He stayed in the game and wound up with 286 yards passing, throwing for two TDs and running for another.

Cutler took longer than usual to come out for his postgame news conference but showed no visible signs of an injury. He and coach Lovie Smith did not mention it.

San Diego (4-6) lost its fifth straight, the longest slide since an 0-5 start in 2003.
