The Bears’ usually meager offense finally found some zip in the final quarter and rode Paul Edinger’s 48-yard game winning field goal to defeat the aging Raiders.
Down 18-3 at the half, Kordell Stewart finally found some of the form that he had when he was voted to the Pro Bowl two years ago. Mixing 52 yards rushing with 160 yards passing, Stewart seemed to find his rhythm in the fourth quarter.
Meanwhile, the Raiders are left with more questions than answers. The Raiders had to settle for field goals on six drives, with Sebastian Janikowski missing one of them. Janikowski also missed his first extra point ever in the first quarter.
