Official Texans @ Bears Game Thread, 9/25/2022

[Keith]

Not sure what's up with Justin Britt, but his backup Scott Quessenberry is already causing an injury timeout on the first offensive drive of the game. Someone named Jimmy Morrissey is snapping. Third center for the team. It is Week 3.

Texans likely to be determined to run the ball today, and sure enough, first couple plays are handoffs to Dameon Pierce and the OL isn't giving him any room. Six yards against what is supposed to be a poor run defense.

Bears converted a field goal on their opening drive.

Texans 0, Bears 3

Titans, Colts, Bengals, Bills all up 7-0.

---------------------------------------

Starting to look like a long day in Chicago. Bears have many injuries yet look like a team on a mission....

Bears 10, Texans 0

David Mongomery gets hurt and his backup plays better. Khalil Herbert 11-yd rushing TD.

Texans 0, Bears 10

Bears already with 111 rushing yards with 6:45 in the 1st quarter.

Heard someone say pregame that the best Bears head coach since Mike Ditka was going to be on the sidelines today.

Wonder how much that opinion changes midway thru the first quarter?

Good news... Quessenberry is back at center. Big pass completion to Chris Moore gets the Texans at the doorstep of the the red zone. Longest play of their season.

Mills hits Akins in the end zone for the 4 yard TD pass.

Bears 10, Texans 7

3:40 left in the 1st qtr.

Pierce had the ball punched out from him, but fortunately someone fell on it to keep the drive alive.

Tytus Howard stepped out for a couple plays dinged up. Heck relieved him, but Howard was back on the field in time for the score.

Jordan Akins scores for the first time since 2020. Nice job by Davis Mills to remain patient in the pocket to let that develop.

Texans 7, Bears 10

Mills short pass to Cooks in the end zone is hit into the air by a Bear and INTed by another Bear. Bears ball at the 20.
