By Scot Marcotte PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer CHICAGO (Ticker) - Chicago Bears Coach Lovie Smith hoped to givequarterback Rex Grossman three quarters against the SanFrancisco 49ers. It wasn't necessary. Grossman was nearly flawless in the first half, completing13-of-20 passes for 211 yards, two touchdowns and oneinterception to guide the Bears to a 31-28 preseason victoryover the 49ers. Grossman's first-half performance was good enough to encourageSmith to him in the second half. The 31 points scored in the first half were all the Bears neededto hold off the 49ers, who made it look respectable with a pairof fourth-quarter touchdowns. Grossman started the game by engineering a six-play, 60-yarddrive, highlighted by a 45-yard pass to Bernard Berrian on thefirst play. Bears running back Cedric Benson capped the drivewith a 2-yard touchdown run. Bears fans held their collective breath when playmaker DevinHester, starting for wideout Muhsin Muhammad, went down with ashoulder injury early in the Bears' second drive. <div class="pre">Hester was held out for the remainder of the game, though Smith</div>said, "He'll be fine." On the same drive, Grossman drew boos by fumbling a snap that heeventually recovered. The bobble drew reminders of his threefumbled exchanges the previous week against the IndianapolisColts. Meanwhile, the 49ers didn't have much opportunity to see theiroffense in the first half. The Bears controlled the ball fornearly 20 minutes, allowing the 49ers only 17 offensive playsand 44 total net yards. San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith managed only 10 yardspassing on two completions, finishing 4-of-8 for 47 yards. The 49ers took advantage of Grossman's interception by ex-BearWalt Harris for a 52-yard touchdown, along with a Drisan James'fumbled kick return at the Chicago 6-yard line to set up anothertouchdown. San Francisco made it a game with two second-half touchdownthrows by Trent Dilfer - one to Zachary Hilton and the other toJason Hill.
