Rapid Recap: Bears fall to Texans on Sunday Night Football

Houston Makes History, Chicago Loses Third Straight

Lamar Miller Dominates, Bears Outplayed in All Facets

The Chicago Bears suffered their third straight loss on Sunday Night Football, falling to the Houston Texans 31-24 at NRG Stadium. Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky threw two interceptions in the first half, which the Texans turned into 14 points, and the Bears offense never recovered. Running back Lamar Miller rushed for 132 yards and a touchdown for the Texans, who improved to 3-3 on the season.

The Bears got off to a rough start when Trubisky threw an interception on their first drive. The Texans took over and drove 35 yards for a field goal. Trubisky threw another interception on the Bears' next possession, and the Texans returned it for a touchdown to take a 10-0 lead. The Bears offense struggled to generate any momentum in the first half, and they trailed 17-3 at halftime.

The Bears offense showed some signs of life in the second half, but Trubisky's interceptions proved to be too costly. He finished the game with 164 passing yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions. Running back David Montgomery was the Bears' leading rusher with 60 yards on 15 carries.

The Texans defense was dominant throughout the game. They held the Bears to just 24 points and forced three turnovers. Defensive end J.J. Watt had a particularly impressive performance, with two sacks, three tackles for loss, and a forced fumble. The Texans defense also held Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson to just four catches for 27 yards.

The Bears now fall to 3-4 on the season and will face the San Francisco 49ers next week. The Texans will face the Indianapolis Colts next week.

## What went wrong for the Bears?

The Bears were outplayed in all facets of the game on Sunday Night Football. The offense struggled to generate any momentum, the defense couldn't get off the field, and special teams made several mistakes. Here are some of the key problems that led to the Bears' loss:

- **Turnovers:** Trubisky's three interceptions were a major factor in the Bears' loss. The Texans turned those interceptions into 14 points. - **Lack of production from the offense:** The Bears offense struggled to move the ball consistently throughout the game. They finished with just 24 points and were held to under 100 rushing yards. - **Poor defense:** The Texans offense was able to move the ball at will against the Bears defense. Miller had a particularly impressive performance, rushing for 132 yards and a touchdown. - **Special teams mistakes:** The Bears special teams unit made several mistakes on Sunday Night Football. They allowed a punt to be blocked, and they had a field goal attempt blocked. ## What's next for the Bears?

The Bears will need to make some changes if they want to turn their season around. They need to find a way to get more production from their offense, and they need to improve their defense. The Bears will face a tough test next week when they travel to San Francisco to face the 49ers.
