LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) Jay Cutler can sense a different vibe, a calm in the huddle as the Chicago Bears enter their second season under coach Marc Trestman.

An offense that put up big numbers is back intact and expectations are high heading into this weekend's opener. The Bears host the Buffalo Bills in what they hope is the start of a run to the playoffs after missing out for the sixth time in seven years last season at 8-8.

Cutler says ''everyone has a good feel'' in the huddle.

This is supposed to be the season where everything finally comes together for Cutler, where the obstacles that tripped him in the past are out of the way.
