				<title><![CDATA[Gould's FG lifts Bears past Broncos in OT]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[CHICAGO (Ticker) -- Special teams kept the Chicago Bears from 
being KO'd in the playoff race.

Robbie Gould kicked a 39-yard field goal in overtime and Devin
Hester returned both a punt and kickoff for touchdowns as the
Bears rallied to stun the Denver Broncos, 37-34, in overtime
Sunday.

The Bears (5-6) erased a 14-point deficit in the final 5 1/2
minutes of regulation as beleaguered quarterback Rex Grossman
led the tying and winning scoring drives.

"We executed and that's what it all boils down to," Grossman
said.  "Sometimes when you get a head of steam, it's hard to be
stopped.  Momentum is a crazy thing."

Grossman threw a 4-yard touchdown pass on 4th-and-goal to
Bernard Berrian with 28 seconds left in the game to force
overtime.  Berrian stretched out and grasped the ball as tumbled
out of bounds.

"I think it was a lot tougher than it looked," Berrian said.
"The biggest thing was that I didn't want to slip and fall
because of the surface we were playing on.  It came down to the
drive and determination of not wanting to have our season end
here, especially at home."

After the Bears won the coin flip and received the kickoff in
the extra session, Grossman quickly found tight end Desmond
Clark for 39 yards to the Broncos' 37-yard line.

Adrian Peterson, subbing for the injured Cedric Benson, then ran
the ball five straight times to set up Gould's winning kick.

"He's a strong runner with great vision," Grossman said.  "He
won't quit.  He drives a pile."

Grossman finished 17-of-33 for 193 yards, one touchdown and one
interception.  Peterson had 45 yards rushing on 17 carries and
five receptions for 41 yards.

"Offensively, you look at the stats and they don't look as good
as you would like," Bears coach Lovie Smith said. "But in the
end, when we needed to make some plays, we came through."

Besides the two electrifying returns by Hester, Chicago also got
a blocked punt from Charles Tillman that set up Peterson's
4-yard TD run that cut the deficit to 34-27 with 5:17 to play.

Hester had a 75-yard punt return and an 88-yard kickoff return -
the latter tying the score at 20-20 with 2:26 left in the
quarter.

"I feel like we stepped up and made plays today," Hester said.
"Any player that feels that they don't have to be the guy to
step and make plays, then why are you out there?  Every time I'm
out there, I feel like I've got to be the guy that's going to
make plays.  That's just my mentality."

The second-year player out of Miami now has a career total of 10
return touchdowns - a franchise record - and is just three shy
of the NFL record.

"He's the best I've ever seen," Denver coach Mike Shanahan said.

The Broncos (5-6) silenced the Chicago crowd by scoring
immediately after Hester's kickoff return.  On the first play
from scrimmage, Jay Cutler hooked up with Brandon Marshall for a
68-yard touchdown to move ahead, 27-20.

Denver appeared to put the game away with a 10-play, 89-yard
drive that tight end Tony Scheffler capped with a spectacular
catch in the end zone to push the lead to 34-20 with 10:38 to
play.

"You have to bury a team when you have a lead," Broncos safety
John Lynch said.  "You have to put them away in this league."

Cutler finished 17-of-31 for 302 yards with two touchdowns and
an interception.  Rookie running back Andre Hall, making his
first career start, added 98 yards and a TD on 26 carries.

"Yeah, it's the NFL," Cutler said. "You have to play 60 minutes
and teams aren't just going to give games away.  The Bears
played hard and this is definitely a tough one to swallow for
all of us."

Benson went down in the second quarter with a left ankle injury.
He returned to the sidelines in the second half in a cast and
on crutches.

"Whenever you don't finish the game, of course, it's not good,"
Bears coach Lovie Smith said.  "He has a pretty good ankle
injury."]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Denver (5-5) at Chicago (4-6)                      4:15 pm EST 

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- In the last four seasons, it took at least
11 wins to win the AFC West.  This year, nine victories may be
enough to capture the division.

That is good news for the Denver Broncos, who seek their third
straight victory on Sunday when they visit the Chicago Bears.

After suffering an embarrassing 44-7 loss at Detroit on November
4, the Broncos' season appeared to be spiraling out of control.

But safety John Lynch called a team meeting after the debacle to
the Lions, and the Broncos have responded with a pair of wins,
including Monday's 34-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

That was enough to get the Broncos back into a first-place tie
with the San Diego Chargers in a mediocre division.

Against the Jaguars, Jay Cutler led the Broncos to a season high
in points against the league's second-ranked defense. He
completed 16-of-21 passes for 200 yards and threw touchdown
passes of 48 and 41 yards.

The Broncos, however, have injury concerns in the backfield as
they were forced to use third-string tailback after rookie
Selmon Young left last week's game with a sprained knee.

Reserve running back Andre Hall provided a spark with a 62-yard
touchdown run in the fourth quarter - the first of his career -
after the Jaguars had pulled within 27-20.

Travis Henry has missed the last three games with a partially torn
ligament in his left knee.

After Brian Griese started Chicago's previous six games, Rex
Grossman was back in as the Bears' starter last week.

Grossman passed for 266 yards - his highest total since throwing
for 282 yards in a playoff win last season against Seattle. But
he could not produce a victory as the Bears (4-6) suffered a
damaging 30-23 setback at Seattle.

The defeat continued an up and down season for Chicago, which has
alternated wins and losses in its last six games.

The defending NFC champions are in danger of falling out of
playoff contention, trailing the Detroit Lions by two games for
the final wild card spot.]]></description>
