    Texans SHOULD dominate. Need to make Caleb look like the rookie he is., need to jump on them early and keep the foot on the gas.

    Game should not be in doubt late.

    This is the type of game super bowl contenders should win in a matter of fact fashion.

    Should be a blowout. The Bears didn't score a single offensive TD last week.

    Quick Overview of my Caleb Williams tape.

    Should be sack city on Sunday Night with the crowd noise.

    His footwork is bad. On the few occasions he tried to navigate to a second or third read. He turns his head and the feet don't follow. Base is bad at the top of his drop which causes an extra hitch.

    Houston should win going away if CJ and Co take care of the ball.

    Yeah but if he gets any time he can throw the ball real far, and Texans safeties haven’t exactly shown much quality judgement in defending that.

    2 of the Texans' safeties ;) another one is a rookie and often looks like he is where he needs to be

    But point understood

    What's surprising to me is with the number of Bears fans in this city, ticket prices aren't higher. They dropped like a rock about 10 days ago.

    For the game itself, I'll be disappointed if the Texans don't win going away.

    Bears D seems legit, just becareful of them. Hope Bobby got some good stuff planned out. Take the W and don't let this be a coming out party for Caleb.

    I wouldn't use this past Sunday as a litmus test for our pass rush. The Colts O Line is better than average at driving defenders off their line, plus our D Line was playing a contain style scheme due to AR's ability to run. Caleb won't have that same luxury in terms of our scheme, and the Bears O Line looked abysmal this past weekend. I would honestly expect the defense to pin their ears back a little bit, and try to get to Caleb early and hit him a few times. My guess is they want to rattle him with physical contact, and get the crowd into it. It will be up to Caleb to get the ball out early, and hit his receivers on quick slants and timed hitches.
