Broncos report: Cutler has fit the bill during fourth quarter

Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler has wrestled the hands of time fairly well this season.
Ten games in, and no quarterback in the league has thrown for more yards (806) or more touchdowns (eight) in the fourth quarter this season.
"I don't know, I'm just comfortable with what I'm seeing at that point in the game," Cutler said Wednesday. "Sometimes it takes me a couple series to get in a rhythm, get comfortable with everything we're doing. By the fourth quarter, I'm ready to roll."
Cutler's 103.3 passer rating in the fourth quarter is more than 12 points higher than his overall passer rating (90.7) and trials only Dallas quarterback Tony Romo's 145.5 fourth-quarter rating.
Some of the totals have been fueled by Cutler's work of late. The Broncos trailed Cleveland 23-13 at the start of the fourth quarter, and Cutler threw three touchdown passes to close out the win.
They trailed Atlanta 20-17 with 10:41 to play Sunday before Cutler threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to Daniel Graham.
"I think this offense is really calm in the fourth quarter and we've had some situations where we've had to come up with some plays, some points in a hurry," Cutler said. "And guys understand we're going to be in a lot of situations where a lot of games are won or lost with what you do in the fourth quarter."
"He stays calm," receiver Brandon Stokley said. "He doesn't let things bother him."
