Much ballyhooed quarterback Caleb Williams was terrible against the Titans in his pro debut at home last Sunday. He threw for fewer than 100 yards and had a passer rating of 55.7. The Bears only managed to beat the lowly Titans because of scoring both a defensive touchdown and special teams touchdown.

Now Williams is playing his first road NFL game. He's going against a well-coached Texans defense that has some excellent pass rushers. Williams could be down two of his three best receivers with Rome Odunze doubtful with a knee injury and Keenan Allen questionable with a sore heel. Chicago's vulnerable offensive line did not look good either against the Titans.

The Texans were a playoff team a year ago - and they have a better roster this season. C.J. Stroud has added weapons in Joe Mixon, who looked great in his Houston debut against the Colts last week, and Stefon Diggs. The Texans piled up 417 yards, second-best in the NFL, opening week with 213 coming on the ground.

I don't see the Bears being able to trade points with the Texans enough to stay within a touchdown.
