Orton just gets by

That was a big drive for Kyle Orton at the end of regulation Thursday night to send the game to overtime. If he doesn't drive Chicago 60 yards at the end of regulation, then draw a PI on Devin Hester in OT, it's an uncomfortable ten days in Chicago. The playoffs would look unlikely and perhaps so would Orton's future. He nearly threw that game away.

Now we won't remember the 40 attempts for 172 yards and two picks, the second of which was inexcusable in the fourth quarter. We'll forget that Orton's best plays were poor throws to Hester on long penalties. Instead, we'll remember the composed finish and the classic empty-handed spike. Winning ugly: Just Orton being Orton.

The empty handed spike made me laugh so hard!

It's Orton's MO: Fans leave Soldier Field wondering how the hell they won, but by Tuesday (or Saturdayish, in this case) everyone just remembers that they won.
