Lincoln’s Play Helps Bears Defeat Chiefs : Interconference: Cornerback intercepts pass to set up Anderson’s go-ahead touchdown in 19-17 victory.

Chicago cornerback Jeremy Lincoln intercepted a bobbled pass to set up Neal Anderson’s one-yard touchdown run with 3:09 left, and the Bears stunned the Kansas City Chiefs, 19-17, Sunday.

The Chiefs, who led 14-0 and were in control for most of the game, lost at Arrowhead Stadium for the first time since Oct. 25 of last season, when they lost to Pittsburgh, 27-3.

The Bears had the ball late in the game when Albert Lewis intercepted a long pass by Jim Harbaugh at the two-yard line.

From there, Kansas City’s Dave Krieg dropped back into the end zone and fired a low pass to tight end Jonathan Hayes, who bobbled the ball high into the air.

“My God, catch it,” Chicago Coach Dave Wannstedt yelled to himself on the sideline.

Lincoln, a second-year cornerback from Tennessee who missed his entire rookie season because of a knee injury suffered on the second day training camp, had the same thought.

“I was thinking, first of all, just catch the ball,” Lincoln said.

Catch it he did, and he ran four yards to the four. Two plays later, Anderson scored.

“I just didn’t make the play,” said a dejected Hayes. “David looked like he got in trouble, so I came back to try to help him.

“It was a little low, but I’ve got to make the play. I tried to pop it up to myself, and it just went up in the air. I just didn’t make the play. That happened all day with us.”

The Bears (5-5) beat an AFC West team for the second week in a row. They beat San Diego, 16-13, the previous Sunday.

The AFC West-leading Chiefs (7-3) took a 17-12 lead on Nick Lowery’s 20-yard field goal late at the start of the fourth quarter and appeared to be in control despite their inability to stop Chicago’s running game.

Marcus Allen, becoming the ninth man in NFL history to rush for more than 9,000 yards, scored on runs of two and eight yards as the Chiefs took a 14-0 lead with 10:52 left in the first half.

Allen’s first touchdown was his 106th, making him No. 6 on the all-time list.

The Chiefs’ defense was hampered by a number of injuries, most notably defensive end Neil Smith, who, after intercepting a pass in the first quarter, hobbled off with an ankle injury and did not return.

After Smith’s interception, Krieg got the Chiefs rolling with successive completions for 13 yards to Fred Jones and 24 to Todd McNair. After Kimble Anders bulled seven yards to the two, Allen took it in.

A 40-yard pass-interference penalty on cornerback Donnell Woolford keyed a nine-play, 92-yard drive by the Chiefs in the second quarter. Allen finished it off with an eight-yard run.

Chicago’s Kevin Butler kicked field goals of 32 and 45 yards later in the second quarter to cut the halftime lead to 14-6.

Early in the third quarter, Tim Worley broke free on a 25-yard scoring run to make it 14-12, capping a 74-yard drive. Dale Carter blocked the extra-point try.
