Game News
Odunze active for tonight. Pushed to play over the weekend.
@CourtneyRCronin: Rome Odunze going through pregame warmups. Came out about 10 mins ago. https://t.co/ytqrwTCzaf
Bears WR Keenan Allen is inactive tonight due to his heel injury.
WHAT A THROW BY CJ AND CATCH BY NICO COLLINS!
@NFL_DovKleiman: Khalil Herbert TOUCHDOWN!
13-10 Texans.
https://t.co/TQlRXAVNiu https://t.co/XJDW4H32R9
Cairo Santos just hit the camera on his 53-yard field goal. Bears and Texans tied at 3. The Bears had some success throwing the ball. Caleb Williams went 5 for 5 for 55 yards, but was sacked for a 10-yard loss. No rushing attacking whatsoever. D'Andre Swift 4 rushing attempts for -3 yards.
The Texans are clearly testing Tyrique Stevenson, and Houston is winning with that matchup.
Cole Kmet has drawn a pass interference penalty and now a defensive holding call against the Texans' defense.
#Bears inactives for tonight's game against the Texans: - Velus Jones Jr. - Kiran Amegadjie - Keenan Allen - Noah Sewell - Khari Blasingame - Dominique Robinson Rome Odunze was running routes during pregame and it looks like he will give it a go tonight. Also, with Keenan Allen inactive, this creates an opportunity for Tyler Scott, who was inactive last week.
Coleman Shelton couldn't make the block and D'Andre Swift gets tackled for a 4-yard loss.
Really good tip by Jack Sanborn. Nico Collins was open.
Braxton Jones did not hold up at all against Danielle Hunter on that second down play.
#Bears WR Rome Odunze is IN. Collin Johnson is too.
That stunt worked on him though. #Bears LB Tremaine Edmunds then clears for the first sack on CJ Stroud tonight to get the 3/out..........!
@SadPhilaFan85: @ImNotJolly @JosinaAnderson Yes I didn't get the tweet either . She's acting like a plumber is playing C
Everyone else on @CHGO_Bears gave a breakout player for Week 2. I'm going with ... Montez Sweat. pic.x.com/hwzzigdzbd
Jaylon Johnson against Jox Mixon, or any running back in the league, is never a good idea. Johnson just forced an incomplete pass.

#Bears returner Velus Jones, who fumbled a kickoff and kicked it 20 yards last week, is OUT.

HOUSTON — Bears coach Matt Eberflus showed his faith in his offensive line when he gambled on fourth-and-1 at the Bears’ 39-yard line — after Caleb Williams had been stopped for no gain on a third-and-1 sneak — with the Bears down a touchdown in the second quarter against the Texans on Sunday night.Running back Khalil Herbert run up the middle, behind right guard Nate Davis, right tackle Darnell Wright and tight end Cole Kmet, pushed and shoved and twisted and — with help from a favora
Caleb Williams took a hit from Azeez Al-Shaair, and Bears players came to defend him. Al-Shaair then punched Roschon Johnson (0:06 mark), but the refs missed it. pic.x.com/5dyv8zzsq9
Texans say RB Joe Mixon is questionable to return tonight due to an ankle injury.
Nico Collins is a grown man. pic.x.com/muh1ecyn3i
Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson combined for 17 pressures per @NextGenStats. The Texans had 36 (!) overall
For SNF: -- #Bears WR Keenan Allen is inactive, while Rome Odunze is active. -- #Texans RB Dameon Pierce is inactive.
The Houston Texans (1-0) will play the Chicago Bears (1-0) on Sunday, September 15, 2024 at NRG Stadium. The Texans are listed as favorites in this one, with the spread sitting at 6.5 points. The over/under in the contest is set at 45.5 points.
The Texans’ last contest was versus the Indianapolis Colts, and they won by a score of 29-27.

The Bears’ most recent contest was against the Tennessee Titans, and they won by a score of 24-17
HIP DROP TACKLE ON MIXON. NO FLAG.
HE'S NOW IN THE TENT AWFUL.
@NFL_DovKleiman: Ka'imi Fairbairn 59 YARD FG IS GOOD!
16-10 Texans.
https://t.co/TrRygKvBGV https://t.co/EQsvXzbHE0
Clear as day such a weird challenge.
@NFL_DovKleiman: Stefon Diggs for 21 YARDS on 3rd down!
The #Bears challenged this lol
https://t.co/pUj44j641p https://t.co/YlhJy1tWRc
Tank Dell should have caught that third down pass. He was open but couldn't control it.
TEXANS WIN!
@NFL_DovKleiman: Cam Akers fumbles at the goal line...
Bears ball.
https://t.co/7tKKjnSRdN https://t.co/RfrTivaGn6
Rookie TE Cade Stover, a fourth-round pick, has been playing FB. On fourth and 1 at the 50, Stroud faked to Mixon up the middle and threw to Stover in the flat for an 18-yard gain. Then Stover threw a clearing block on Tank Dell's 18-yard run on an end-around.
Remember CJ Stroud has 2023 6th round backup C Jarrett Patterson in tonight too with starter Juice Scruggs inactive with a groin injury....
Ka’imi Fairbairn’s middle name is clutch.
Well, it’s actually Kaʻiminoeauloamekaʻikeokekumupaʻa, but “clutch” is how the Houston Texans kicker has played this year.
Ka'imi Fairbairn 59-yard field goal is good! #NFL #Texans pic.twitter.com/pyafyoz802
— Tanner Phifer (@TannerPhifer) September 16, 2024
Following a false start from Laremy Tunsil, the Texans were just in line of Fairbairn’s usual field goal range. From the logo, the veteran delivered a 59-yard boom blast to give the Texans a 16-10 lead over the Chicago Bears at halftime
Will Anderson Jr. with a six-yard sack on third down to force a punt.
Mario Edwards Jr. with a 7-yard sack on third down. What a terrific signing he's turned out to be.
On third and 9, Williams is sacked for an 8-yard loss by Derek Barnett. Texans ball leading 13-3 with 6:07 left in the half.
The breakout season for Derek Stingley Jr. is upon us.
Stingley intercepted Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams at the Houston Texans’ 34 with just under a minute left in the third quarter. Ka’imi Fairbairn drilled a 53-yard field goal to extend Houston’s lead to nine.
STING IS STINGIN'

Last season, Stingley was a turnover machine for the AFC South champions. He totaled five interceptions and 12 pass breakups while helping Houston clinch his first division title in four years
