FLASH RECAP:
After Sebastian Janikowski's 52-yard field goal lifts Oakland to a 6-3 lead, Chicago needs only three plays to score the game's first touchdown. After an 11-yard pass from Rex Grossman to Cedric Benson, Grossman hooks up with Bernard Beriman on a 59-yard touchdown catch, pushing the Bears into a 10-6 lead with 3:11 to play. On the go-ahead touchdown, Beriman beats Chris Carr, who is in the Raiders lineup because of injuries to cornerbacks Nnamdi Asomugha and Fabian Washington. After an exchange of punts, the Raiders cough up the ball at the Oakland 3 when Josh McCown is sacked by Adewale Ogunleye. On the next play, Benson scores the Bears' second touchdown with 1:35 left.
