The Chicago Bears finally recorded their first win over the Houston Texans. But even more important, the Bears snapped a six-game losing streak in impressive fashion with a 36-7 rout of the Texans to improve to 6-7 on the season.
Chicago looked the best they have all season, as they finally played a complete game on all phases. The offense and defense saved their best performances of the season against Houston, which included a dominant first-half outing by both groups.
The Bears pass rush came alive against the Texans, recording six sacks of Deshaun Watson. Outside linebacker Khalil Mack was his dominant self, recording his first sack since Nov. 1 and adding a safety.
But it was Chicago’s offense that dominated headlines as there were thoughts of “where has that been” when watching the Bears offense finally clicking in the run and pass en route to scoring 28 first-half points, where quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, running back David Montgomery and receiver Allen Robinson had dominant performances.
