Live scores, highlights and updates from the Bears vs. Texans football game
Through 3 Quarters
Both the Chicago Bears and the Houston Texans suffered losses in their previous contests, but the Bears are closer to making up for it this week. Three quarters in and Chicago's offense has really been able to impose its will, dominating Houston 33-7 three quarters in.
RB David Montgomery has led the way so far for Chicago, as he has rushed for one TD and 106 yards on six carries. That touchdown -- an 80-yard rush in the first quarter -- was one of the highlights of the contest.
Houston has been led by QB Deshaun Watson, who so far has passed for one TD and 177 yards on 23 attempts in addition to picking up 38 yards on the ground.
Chicago's lead is the biggest they have had this year going into the fourth quarter.

What to Know
The Houston Texans will take on the Chicago Bears at 1 p.m. ET Sunday at Soldier Field. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
The Texans didn't finish too far behind, but the squad still lost 26-20 to the Indianapolis Colts last week. No one had a standout game offensively for Houston, but they got one touchdown from QB Deshaun Watson. Watson ended up with a passer rating of 138.50.
Meanwhile, Chicago was within a late touchdown of stealing the win, but they took the "L" against the Detroit Lions 34-30. A silver lining for Chicago was the play of RB David Montgomery, who punched in two rushing touchdowns.
This next contest is expected to be close, with Houston going off at just a 1-point favorite. True fans might be the only ones betting on them, currently 4-8 ATS, to cover the spread.
Houston is now 4-8 while the Bears sit at 5-7. A couple offensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Texans are stumbling into the matchup with the fewest rushing yards per game in the NFL, having accrued only 84.4 on average. Chicago has experienced some struggles of their own as they are worst in the league in rushing touchdowns, with only five on the season. Looks like big plays on the ground might be a bit hard to come by this week.
