Texans begin the 2nd half with a drive that ends in a 42-yard Fairbairn FG.

Herbert punches it in from the 1 for a Bear's TD. Earlier had a 52 yard run in the drive.

Bears 20, Texans 17

8:25 left in the 3rd qtr.

Fairbairn good from 23 on a drive the Texans really should have had a TD.

Texans 20, Bears 20

54 seconds left in the 3rd qtr.

[Arky]

Pitre with a big INT!

Texans set up shop at the Bears 39 with 14:48 left in the game.

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

Eh, Texans go backwards, have to punt.

Johnson's punt pins the Bears at their 8 yard line.

[Arky]

That might do it. Less than 2 minutes left, Texans deep in their own territory, Mills' pass is tipped and INT'ed by the Bears. Bears only have to kick the easy FG for the win...

[Arky]

Santos was good from 30 for the game winning FG with no time left.

Final Score:

Bears 23, Texans 20

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

Once again, the Texans had their chances. They did score 20 pts on the road but somehow found a way to lose it in the 4th qtr.

The stats are kinda even with the Bears having the big edge in rushing (281 yards!) and the Texans having the edge in passing (237 yards). Obviously, the defense needs to work on their run game.

Their growth curve is happening painfully slow at this point in time. There were some bright spots. Pitre. Pierce when he wasn't coughing up the ball. Some players just plain suck and the staff really should be looking to drill into the depth chart to find something/anything better.

It'll get tougher when the Chargers come to town next week and are a 7 pt. favorite. After that, it's a road game with the improving Jags....
