3 Chicago Bears keys to the game

1. Make the Texans one-dimensional

Joe Mixon is a problem. Adding him to a Texans offense that has Stefon Diggs, Tank Dell and Nico Collins is ridiculous. If the Bears' defense wants to keep that passing game in check, it'll need to rely on the front four and the linebackers to 

2. Get the running game going

Last week, the Bears struggled to move the ball. On the ground, they gained 84 yards on 22 total carries. D'Andre Swift, one of the top free agents the Bears signed this offseason, needs to get going. It keeps the defense honest, which helps Caleb Williams in the end.

3. Handle the hostile environment

This will be Caleb Williams' first experience in a hostile NFL environment. It's primetime, all eyes are on him as he tries to become the first rookie Bears QB to win his first two games since Craig Krenzel in 2004.

Remember when…

The last time the Bears won on Sunday Night Football was in 2014, when the Bears went into Levi's Stadium and upset Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers 28-20. The Bears staged a furious comeback in the fourth quarter behind Jay Cutler's three touchdown passes. It was one of the season's few bright moments, however. The Bears would later play Green Bay on SNF and allow six touchdowns in one half to Aaron Rodgers. The Bears fired head coach Marc Trestman following the 2014 season and a 5-11 record.
