With the exception of a strong home-field performance against a basically crippled Ravens team (certainly on D), the Texans really haven't been too impressive at all in their last 4 games.
To me the keys to the game are (1) the Texans' front 7 getting enough pressure on the Bears passing game to slow down the Cutler-Marshal combo,
(2) the Texans' woeful STs going against stellar Bears' ST units led by Kevin Hester, and (3) whether the Texans' rushing-game is able to move the chains against the Bears D ?
No matter how badly I personally may want the Texans to prevail in their second Sunday-night try this season in front of national TV to redeem themselves for the real stinker vs the Packers earlier in Reliant, I just don't see it happening, therefor 21-13, Bears.
