ALAMEDA — Winning a game on the road is no reason to get a big head.

Raiders coach Jack Del Rio brushed aside any thought Monday that his 2-1 Raiders would overlook their next road assignment, no matter how much the Chicago Bears are struggling.

The Bears are generally considered to be the weakest of the four remaining winless NFL teams, the others being Baltimore, Detroit and New Orleans.

The Raiders, by contrast, are riding high, having erased an 11-game road losing streak and a 16-game losing streak in the Eastern time zone with a 27-20 win over the Cleveland Browns.

Oakland has won two straight for the first time in a span of 44 games and is generating some positive buzz around the NFL. It doesn’t hurt that the Raiders came out of the Browns game relatively healthy.

“We’ve got way too much work to do,” Del Rio said at his weekly news conference. “We respect everybody. We fear nobody. Certainly we understand (Chicago has) a lot of talented players and coaches that work hard.

“We’re going to do our best each and every week to prepare and put together the best active 46 we can and go compete.”

Chicago is in its first year under John Fox, who hired Del Rio as his defensive coordinator in Carolina in 2002 and had him in Denver the past three seasons.

Chicago is without starting quarterback Jay Cutler, and backup Jimmy Clausen struggled in a 26-0 loss to Seattle as the Bears offense finished with seven first downs and punted on all of its 10 possessions.

Fox told reporters he wouldn’t rule out going to San Jose State product David Fales, a practice squad player for Chicago last season who was waived at the 53-man cutdown but later brought back to the roster.

“I’d consider anybody on the 53-man roster,” Fox said. “That’s why they’re here.”

Raiders safety Charles Woodson said in an interview with Sirius XM NFL radio Monday that the key to putting wins together is tunnel vision.

“It’s simple. You’ve just got to focus on the next one,” Woodson said. “Two and one is great, but in the grand scheme of things, there’s a long way to go. We can’t be worried about down the road or what can be or what might be. We’ve got to focus on Chicago and getting on a roll, getting on a plane, going across the country and focusing the way we did (against Cleveland).”

Amari Cooper leads all NFL rookies with 20 receptions for 290 yards and has already become a key component of a promising offense. Yet Del Rio used him on two punt returns against Cleveland — he gained 9 yards on one, lost 9 on another — and plans to do it again depending on the situation. “There’s an element (of risk) for anybody you put out there,” Del Rio said. “I think you play the game. He’s certainly a guy that we think is a real good football player that will be able to do some things in space, provided we are able to give him some blocking.” Former Raiders wide receiver Tim Brown made the Hall of Fame in part because of his ability returning kicks, something that was a big part of his game at Notre Dame. On the flip side, Woodson, because of his importance to the defense, was seldom allowed to return punts by owner Al Davis. Cooper did not return kicks at Alabama, but Del Rio said: “He’s got good hands, catches the ball easy, and has got some run ability. So we’ll take advantage of that … we’d like him to make better decisions than he did Sunday.”

Tight ends continue to run free in the Raiders secondary, and Del Rio thinks he knows why. “Somehow they are going right down the field without us being able to see them,” Del Rio said, tongue firmly planted in cheek. “We’re going to see if we can remove that cloaking device.” Gary Barnidge caught six passes for 105 yards. Baltimore tight end Crockett Gillmore and Cincinnati’s Tyler Eifert, like Barnidge, both also had career days against the Raiders.

TJ Carrie, who played extensively at strong safety but also some at cornerback, will be available for similar duty against the Bears although Del Rio wouldn’t commit to it.

Defensive tackle C.J. Wilson didn’t finish the game with a calf injury, and defensive tackle Justin Ellis didn’t suit up for the second straight game with an ankle injury. Their status for the Chicago game is uncertain.
