The Houston Texans are staying on the road on Sunday to face off against the Chicago Bears at 1 p.m. ET Sept. 25 at Soldier Field. The point spread is more or less neutral, so fans should expect a close contest.
It was all tied up 6-6 at halftime, but the Texans were not quite the Denver Broncos' equal in the second half when they met last week. Houston fell to the Broncos 16-9. One thing holding Houston back was the mediocre play of QB Davis Mills, who did not have his best game: he passed for only 177 yards on 38 attempts.
Special teams was responsible for all of the team's points. K Ka'imi Fairbairn delivered a perfect 3-for-3 game.
Meanwhile, the game between Chicago and the Green Bay Packers last week was not a total blowout, but with Chicago falling 27-10 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. A silver lining for Chicago was the play of RB David Montgomery, who picked up 122 yards on the ground on 15 carries. Montgomery's performance made up for a slower matchup against the San Francisco 49ers two weeks ago.
Both of these teams will be looking to put their recent losses behind them and walk away with a win. Neither squad could put together much of an offensive attack, so expect every point to count.
