The Texans Hold on For Win Against Bears in Primtime

Almost no part of this one was easy despite the defensive performance.

The Houston Texans earned a tough victory over the Chicago Bears 19-13. It was a grinding affair from both sides of the ball.

Here are 11 observations from the win over the Bears.

1. This was a sloppy win for the Texans. The offense looked disjointed lacking execution and some credit belongs to the Bears. Over 100 yards in penalties was indicative of the slopiness. They still found a way to win through all the penalties and negative plays. It is a testament to what they can be if they clean up a game like this. Good teams win this game. Great teams play fewer of these types of games.
