Webb, who was berated and shoved by

during a poor showing in Green Bay, did not address the media after Sunday’s 23-6 victory over the Rams.
New starting left guard
Chilo Rachal
was solid in his offensive line debut, but Rachal also picked up two false starts that he called “inexcusable” penalties.
Cutler, however, had Rachal’s back.
“I thought he settled down,” Cutler said. “One of (the false starts) wasn’t his fault — I think both of them weren’t. I held the count a little bit the second time. I think (Garza) made a little mistake in there and he jumped again.
“Chilo brings that edge to the offensive line and he doesn’t take a lot of grief in there. … He’s kind of a mauler, and I feel comfortable with him in there.”
Rachal jawed with Rams defenders after a couple of plays.
“St. Louis? I wouldn’t necessarily label them dirty because I’m on the line (and) I don’t get to see everything,” Rachal said. “But they talk a lot of trash.”
Cutler, who was sacked seven times in Green Bay, was sacked twice Sunday. He did a better job getting the ball out quickly, and the offense had more balance with 34 running plays and 31 pass attempts.
Foul play:
Defensive co-captain
Julius Peppers
was whistled for a personal foul for hitting Rams running back
Daryl Richardson
after a play. The veteran defensive end said he didn’t hear the whistle and Richardson got up and tried to run, “so I finished the play.”
The penalty occurred after a third-down stop and allowed the Rams to keep the ball. But the Rams squandered the opportunity, as Peppers and
