WATCH: David Montgomery takes off for 80-yard TD run on opening series

On the Bears’ first play, RB David Montgomery cranked off a 80-yard touchdown run that put Chicago up 7-0 in the first quarter.

The Chicago Bears offense has struggled at the start of games and coming out of halftime this season. But the Bears didn’t waste anytime on their opening possession to take an early lead against the Houston Texans.

On the Bears’ first play on their opening drive, running back David Montgomery cranked off a 80-yard touchdown run that put Chicago up 7-0 in the first quarter.

Montgomery has been outstanding in these last three games. He recorded his first 100-yard rushing game against the Green Bay Packers in Week 12, and he was on his way to a second straight 100-yard game against the Detroit Lions last week, but he only got six carries in the second half.

There’s no doubt that Montgomery should record his second 100-yard rushing game of the season as he only needs 20 more yards to get there.

The Bears currently lead the Texans 7-0 in the first quarter.

WATCH: Cordarrelle Patterson returns kickoff 104 yards for TD

Just when the Bears needed a spark, Cordarrelle Patterson delivered with a 104-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.

Just when the Bears needed a spark, Patterson delivered with a 104-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to give the Bears a 13-7 lead.

That was the eighth kickoff-return touchdown of Patterson’s career, which tied him with Josh Cribbs and Leon Washington for the all-time lead.

Patterson’s 104-yard kickoff return is the longest in Bears history, surpassing Gale Sayers’ 103-yarder against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 17, 1967.

WATCH: Bears score first 3rd quarter points this season

The Bears finally broke their third-quarter curse scoring their first points in the final minutes of the quarter against the Panthers.

The Bears finally broke their third-quarter curse scoring their first points in the final minutes of the quarter. Although it was far from easy, especially as the Bears failed to punch it in from the 1-yard line the previous play with running back David Montgomery.

Facing third-and-goal from the 1-yard line, quarterback Nick Foles kept the ball for the touchdown to put the Bears up by two scores.

While the Bears got their first points of the third quarter, it was still another ugly quarter. They just happened to get some help from a missed Joey Slye 54-yard field goal to set them up on their own 44-yard line.

The Chicago Bears defense made a statement on the opening series of the game against the Carolina Panthers.

Following a special teams penalty, the Panthers offense started on their own 10-yard line, and the Bears defense brought the pressure on Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.

Bears defensive tackle Bilal Nichols sacked Bridgewater on the 1-yard line — nearly getting a safety. But it was a good thing Nichols kept Bridgewater out of his own end zone.

On the next play — third-and-19 — Bridgewater was intercepted by safety Tashaun Gipson, who made his second pick of the season. Rookie cornerback Jaylon Johnson tipped Bridgewater’s pass, and Gipson made the play.

The turnover set up the Bears on Carolina’s 7-yard line, where Chicago’s offense converted on third-and-goal — a Nick Foles to Cole Kmet touchdown, the rookie tight end’s first career touchdown.

The Bears lead 7-0 in the first quarter.
