Official Texans vs. Bears Game Thread, 9/11/2016

[Arky]

The Chicago Bears pay a visit to NRG stadium this Sunday to play the Texans in an early game on FOX. It will be the season opener for both teams. Like the Texans, the Bears will be operating with a patchwork offensive line due to injury. Still, the Bears are expected to start QB Jay Cutler and he can run hot (or cold) at times.... The Bears have a new offensive coordinator, a new RB and the aforementioned interior OL.

The Texans will have a new QB, some rookie wide receivers to break in, a new lead RB and their own new faces on the OL. The Texans have never lost to the Bears (3-0).
