RAMS WIN FIFTH IN ROW, 21-16 OVER BEARS

St. Louis QB MARC BULGER remained unbeaten as a starter, and the Rams improved to 5-5 after a 0-5 start with a 21-16 win over the Chicago Bears Monday night.

Bulger completed 21 of 35 attempts for 347 yards and 2 touchdowns.  WR ISAAC BRUCE hauled in six of Bulger’s passes for 141 yards.  An eight-yard fourth-quarter touchdown pass from Bulger to WR RICKY PROEHL proved to be the difference in the game.

Chicago RB ANTHONY THOMAS carried 14 times for 61 yards with a touchdown.  Bears K PAUL EDINGER connected on all three of his field-goal attempts, including a 50-yarder late in the fourth quarter.

The Rams became only the second team in NFL history to win five consecutive games after losing five in a row to start the season.  The Washington Redskins accomplished the feat last season.
