> CHICAGO - A week off recharged the unbeaten Chicago Bears. They
> jumped on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday like an orange-clad
> blur.
>
> Their quick defense ravaged the mistake-prone 49ers and their offense
> moved with ease. And by halftime, the Bears were cruising 41-0 on their
> way to a 41-10 victory.
>
> Wearing bright orange uniforms on a spectacular autumn day, the Bears
> ran their record to 7-0 for their best start since the 1985 Super Bowl
> champions won their first 12.
>
> The Bears turned two fumble recoveries and a one-handed interception by
> Brian Urlacher into a 24-0 first-quarter lead, setting the franchise
> record for first-quarter points. And they matched a franchise record
> for points in a first half, set in 1948 against Wa****ngton, with their
> 41-0 lead.
>
> Rex Grossman rebounded from his worst game - four interceptions and
> two fumbles in a narrow 24-23 win at Arizona before a bye week - to
> complete 23 of 29 p***** for 252 yards and three touchdowns in three
> quarters.
>
> The 49ers (2-5) had four first-half turnovers and Chicago turned each
> one into a touchdown.
>
> San Francisco averted a shutout in the fourth quarter on a 23-yard
> field goal by Joe Nedney and a 16-yard TD pass from Alex Smith to
> Antonio Bryant.
>
> Urlacher's interception was a highlight reel play from last year's NFL
> Defensive Player of the Year.
>
> The middle linebacker reached up and batted Smith's pass into the air.
> As he was being driven to the ground by 49ers guard Justin Smiley, he
> grabbed the ball with one hand before he landed.
>
> Six plays later, Grossman's 5-yard TD pass to Muhsin Muhammad made it
> 17-0.
>
> Smith was stripped of the ball in the 49ers' next series, and Tommie
> Harris picked it up and ran to San Francisco's 13. That set up a 1-yard
> TD by Cedric Benson and a 24-0 lead with a minute to go in the opening
> quarter.
>
> The Bears had such a comfortable lead they went on fourth down from the
> San Francisco 1 early in the second quarter. Grossman lofted a TD pass
> to Desmond Clark.
>
> After the Bears took an early 3-0 lead, the 49ers Maurice Hicks fumbled
> the ensuing kickoff and Cameron Worrell recovered at the 15, leading to
> a 7-yard TD run by Thomas Jones.
>
> San Francisco entered giving up 32 points a game, but the defense
> wasn't to fault early on because turnovers allowed the Bears to work
> from short fields; drives started at the 15, 41 and 13, and they turned
> all three into touchdowns to take the big opening-quarter lead.
>
> The 49ers coughed up the ball a fourth time late in the half when
> Bryant caught a pass and fumbled, with Ricky Manning Jr. recovering.
>
> Instead of running out the clock, the Bears capitalized again.
> Grossman's 27-yard TD pass to a wide-open Clark with 10 seconds left,
> which completed a quick four-play, 70-yard drive in just 62 seconds.
>
> Notes: The Bears' previous high in points for the first quarter was 21
> on four occasions, including twice in 1986. .. After gaining just 43
> yards on 11 carries in the previous game, Jones finished with 111 on 23
> carries. He was stopped at the 1 in the third quarter on a fourth down
> at the end of a nine-minute drive.
