It wasn’t pretty. The weather was miserable. Mistakes pilled up like snow in a Nor’easter. In the end, the Houston Texans did just enough to defeat the Chicago Bears, 13-7.
Arian Foster lead the way for the Texans rushing for 102 yards and scoring the games only touchdown on one of his five receptions. Shane Graham made both of his field goal attempts and the Texans defense held the Bears offense to only 2 field goals.
Unfortunately for the Bears, Jay Cutler was forced to leave the game at halftime with a concussion. Cutler was injured on a play that was called back because he had passed the ball over the line of scrimmage. Cutler finished the half but that was the end of his night. Matt Forte rushed for only 39 yards and was outplayed by Foster.
The Bears made too many mistakes to have a chance to win the game. The Bears had four turnovers and were flagged for 5 penalties that resulted in 49 yards.
Next week, the Texans (8-1) will be home to host the Jaguars, and the Bears (7-2) will travel to San Francisco to play the 49ers on Monday Night Football.
