The Raiders suffered their fifth straight loss as the Chicago Bears came from behind to win 17-6 at McAfee Coliseum.  The Raiders didn’t score a touchdown in the loss, and their 193 yards total offense with the lowest of the season. Oakland had a 6-3 lead with 4:04 left in the game.  Less than a minute later,  Rex Grossman, filling in for an injured Brian Griese, connected with Bernard Berrian on a 59-yard touchdown catch to put the Bears up, 10-6.  Adewale Ogunleye sacked quarterback Josh McCown forcing a fumble that the Bears recovered.  Cedric Benson ran it in for a three-yard score on the next play to seal the deal for Chicago, which moves to 4-and-5 with the win.  Robbie Gould added a 32-yard field goal.  Sebastian Janikowski hit two field goals of 37 and 52 yards, for the Raiders’ only points of the game.  Justin Fargas had 81 yards rushing on 23 carries in the setback that drops Oakland to 2-and-7.
