Sunday Night Football: Texans Lead Bears 16-10 at Halftime

The Texans dominated the Bears in the first half, but led only 16-10 at halftime.

Houston has 206 yards to Chicago’s 91 and has punted only once. Tommy Townsend’s lone punt cost the Texans, however, with 37 yards to the Houston 49. The Bears used the field position for a touchdown.

Khalil Herbert ran it in from 2 yards out with 32 seconds left in the second quarter to complete the eight-play drive. It was 2 of the Bears’ 18 rushing yards on 11 carries.

Caleb Williams, the Bears’ No. 1 overall pick, has played considerably better than in his debut, going 12 of 15 for 91 yards. He has two sacks. DJ Moore has three carries for 35 yards.

With one second left in the half, Texans kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn responded with a 59-yard field goal. He also had field goals of 56 and 47 yards in the first half.

Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud completed 14 of 19 passes for 173 yards with one touchdown, a 28-yard pass to Nico Collins. Collins has five catches for 86 yards, including two of the highlight-reel variety. Stefon Diggs has two receptions for 26 yards.

Joe Mixon, who had a good day in the season opener, has just 19 yards on six attempts.
