Chicago Bears vs Oakland Raiders 3rd Quarter Open Thread

**SCORE UPDATE**

- Chicago Bears 16

- Oakland Raiders 14

--------------------

The extra missed point could come back to haunt the Chicago Bears by the time it's all said and done.

The Chicago Bears have played good football so far today versus the Raiders, but they've played good football in the first half of all their games so far this season.  The key will be whether they are able to carry that momentum into the 2nd half and stay fresh, which is difficult to do when the roster is so thin in so many areas.

Also, isn't it nice to have our starting quarterback back on the field?

Jay Cuter:  14/ 19, 170 yards, 2 TD, 135.9 rating

Matt Forte: 14 rushes, 69 yards | 2 rec., 48 yards

So far, so good for Chicago.  Let's just hope things don't fall apart as we play the back-9 of the course.

This is your 3rd Quarter Open Thread... Have fun!
