Bears survive Cardinals Leinart

Phoenix, AZ

The Chicago Bears found a way to stay unbeaten after being down 20-0 at halftime.

Matt Leinart threw two first-quarter touchdowns and finished 24-for-42 for 232 yards but still could not overcome the Cardinal curse. Arizona kicker Neil Rackers botched a 41-yard field goal with 53 seconds left after Leinart smoothly guided them down the field.

In the second half Chicago returned two fumbles for touchdowns, and Devin Hester returned a punt 83 yards for a touchdown to beat the Cardinals 24-23.
