Chicago Bears (1-1-0) vs Houston Texans (0-1-1)
Sunday, September 25th @ Noon (CST)
Solider Field
CBS 2
WBBM 780
Houston Texans lead series 4-1-0
JAYLON JOHNSON vs. LITERALLY ANYONE
Nobody on the Bears has had a better start to their season than cornerback Jaylon Johnson. It is only two games, but on 63 coverage snaps, Johnson has only allowed one single catch while also forcing a turnover to begin his season in a way that made Bear Nation remember the man that wore 33 a decade ago. Brandin Cook is the Texans most talented receiver, but does enough work in the slot to get away from Johnson on a lot of snaps. So it will be interesting to see if the Texans can get anyone going on the talented cornerback's side of the field or does Johnson keep his stellar 2022 resume just as clean as he walked into this game with
ANGELO BLACKSON/JUSTIN JONES vs. SCOTT QUESSENBERRY
Chicago has some talent on the outside of it's DL, but is really lacking any push in the middle this defense needs to get after a quarterback. That could change this week as starting Texans center Justin Britt is out with an injury. That puts Quessenberry in as the replacement. He’s a veteran but has a poor track record in pass protection. Add in a young and inexperienced QB that lacks mobility and it's a recipe for success in the middle of the Texans OL.
LUKE GETSY vs. LOVIE SMITH
After a very promising opening drive that resulted in the only lead the Bears had against the Packers in their prime time matchup, it seemed like six steps backwards for Chicago's rookie playcaller. While the Bears showed life running the ball, Getsy failed to get his young quarterback in any kind of rhythm and the passing game quickly became nonexistent. It is going to be tempting to follow the same run heavy approach against a Texan defense ranked 30th rushing defense, but Luke Getsy has to find away to get Justin Fields some easy completions and he has to find away to involve assumed playmakers Darnell Mooney and Cole Kmet. Not only is this offense back on it's home field, but it will host a familiar coach on the opposite sideline. Lovie Smith runs an defense very similar to what Eberflus is trying to do, so it's a defense Getsy has practiced against often and has many soft zone coverage spots to exploit in getting his bottom of the league passing game out of the gutter.
