(AP) - Jay Cutler threw for 286 yards and two touchdowns, and the Chicago Bears won their fifth straight, beating Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers 31-20 on Sunday.

Chicago (7-3) continued its remarkable turnaround and handed the Chargers their fifth straight loss, their longest slide since an 0-5 start in 2003.

But it wasn't easy.

Rivers threw for 280 yards.

For most of the game, he looked more like a Pro Bowl quarterback than the guy who had been turning it over at an alarming rate.

But two late interceptions helpedpreserve the win for Chicago.

The Bears were leading 31-20 when San Diego's Antoine Cason returned an interception 64 yards to the Chicago 16.

But instead ofdriving for a touchdown, Rivers sealed it with an INT.
