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

[Keith]

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.

[Keith]

Pierce now 66 yds on 12 rushes (5.5) with the score. Looking a bit more like how he showed in preseason.

Bears shockingly ran it on 3rd and 6 before punting to the Texans immediately before that TD drive. Showing a lack of faith in Justin Fields, though he is 3-7 for 21 yds and a pick already today. Chicago fans booed that decision, of course.

[Arky]

Bears add a FG. Santos good from 50.
