The Bears won a incredible game last week at home.  They were trailing by 14 points with a little over 6 minutes left before Rex Grossman pulled some magic out of his helmet.  He completed 17 of 33 passes for 198 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception.  Cedric Benson was running well (8 car, 47 yards) before he blew out his knee ending his season.  Adrian Peterson found yardage tough to get as he carried the ball 17 times for 45 yards (2.6 ypc) with a TD run.  He also caught 5 passes for 41 yards (8.2 avg).  Rookie Garrett Wolfe had a solid game with 3 carries for 29 yards (9.7 ypc).  Desmond Clark had two big catches for 61 yards (20.3 avg).  Bernard Berrian only caught 3 passes for 24 yards but he had a big TD grab.  The Bears finished up with 122 yards rushing on 32 carries (3.8 ypc) and they also completed 17 of 33 passes for 171 yards.

Devin Hester was the real star of this game as he returned 5 kickoffs for 151 yards (30.2 avg) with a TD.  He also returned 5 punts for 81 yards (16.2 avg) with a TD.  The Bears are happy that Mike Shanahan was dumb enough to kick the ball to Hester….because if he didn’t…..the Broncos would have likely won this football game.

Hunter Hillenmeyer (10 tackles), Adewale Ogunleye (7 tackles, 2 sacks) and Charles Tillman (3 tackles, interception) led the way on the Bears defense.  The Broncos finished up with 138 yards rushing on 37 carries (3.7 ypc) and they also completed 17 of 31 passes for 292 yards.
