Chicago Bears receiver Brandon Marshall reportedly went off on his teammates after Sunday's 27-14 loss at home to the Miami Dolphins. At least two targets of Marshall's yelling were quarterback Jay Cutler and kicker Robbie Gould, according to Michael C. Wright of ESPN.
With the team sitting at 3-4, frustration is apparently beginning to boil over.
"Yelling could be heard from outside the double doors, and a source said receiver Brandon Marshall called out quarterback Jay Cutler," Wright wrote Sunday. "The source said there 'are some very selfish individuals in the locker room.' But it's not out of the ordinary for Marshall to strongly voice his opinion to Cutler, as the two are close friends off the field."
Cutler had two turnovers in the loss: an interception and a fumble.
Wright also said it was believed Marshall yelled at Gould. After the game, Marshall admitted there was frustration in the locker room.
"We lost, there should be a lot of frustration," he told reporters. "You should hear frustration. We're 3-4. Yeah, this means everything to a lot of guys in this locker room. This means a lot."
Marshall declined to specify with whom he was frustrated, however.
"OK, were you in here?" Marshall said. "Were you in the locker room? This is a team matter. That has nothing to do with you. There's a lot of guys this means a lot to. We're 3-4. We need to play better. That's unacceptable. That's unacceptable. Unacceptable; shouldn't have lost today, shouldn't be 3-4. [The] offense [has] got to play better. It's as simple as that."
Cutler's inconsistencies - "good Jay Cutler, bad Jay Cutler" - remain a major issue for the team. In Chicago's three wins this season, Cutler committed zero turnovers; in the team's four losses, Cutler committed multiple turnovers, according to ESPN.
Opponents have now scored 37 points off Cutler's turnovers this season.
