The Chicago Bears are 3-point favorites for Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans at Soldier Field. But it’s far from a gimme win.
Lovie Smith is on his way back to Chicago. In his first season as Houston Texans coach, Smith’s trip into town this weekend to face the Bears will be all business, even if it comes on a stage at Soldier Field that produced an abundance of great memories over his nine seasons. The Bears are 3-point favorites Sunday. But it’s far from a gimme win as two bottom-tier teams work to find themselves on the final weekend of September.
Bears rushing yards on their penultimate possession of Sunday’s loss, a 13-play drive that ended with Justin Fields’ run for no gain on fourth-and-goal with 8 minutes, 7 seconds remaining. The Bears ran the ball 11 times on that drive. Mix in a false start penalty and a 10-yard sack by Preston Smith, and the Bears’ march from their 10 yard line to the Packers 1 included more than 100 yards on the ground. Somehow, they still wound up scoreless. Go figure.
Takeaways by Smith’s Bears defenses during his nine seasons in Chicago, an average of 2.2 per game. The Bears led the NFL in that category in 2006 and 2012, amassing 44 takeaways in each of those seasons. They finished in the top 10 in takeaways five other times as well.Bears quarterback Justin Fields throws to wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown ) in what would become an interception by Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander in the fourth quarter Sunday at Lambeau Field.
