The Bears record was looking like it was going to fall to 0-4 during the game against the Oakland Raiders as the Raiders took a 20-19 lead late in the game, but the Bears weren't having it. After falling down 20-19 with 2:05 left to play, the Bears offense behind Jay Cutler put together a good two-minute drive capped off by a Robbie Gould game-winning 49-yard field goal with :02 left in the game.

Gould's kick gave the Bears their first win under coach John Fox and improved their record to 1-3. The Bears got a good lift from quarterback Jay Cutler who returned to the lineup after missing a week due to a hamstring injury. Cutler threw for 281 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while completing 28 of 43 passes. For playing through an injury that most guys wouldn't, Cutler played an outstanding game and led his team to victory.
Martellus Bennett and Eddie Royal were on the receiving end of the two touchdowns thrown by Cutler. The Bears erased deficits of 14-6, 17-16, and 20-19 during the game and got their first win since last Nov. 23 when they beat the Buccaneers 21-13.
The Bears hope to get another win as they prepare for the Kansas City Chiefs next week.
Bear down!
