2022 Season

Houston Texans at Chicago Bears – Week 3, 2022

Ron Johnson

  • Date: September 25, 2022
  • Location: Soldier Field (Chicago, IL)
  • Final Score: Bears 23, Texans 20
  • The Fit: Navy Jersey / Navy Pants (Rare combo)
  • Vegas Line: Bears -3 (Push)
  • Key Notes: Former Bears head coach Lovie Smith returned to Soldier Field on the opposing sideline. Bears starting quarterback Justin Fields struggled with consistency, but the running game thrived. Roquan Smith’s late interception set up the game-winning field goal, moving the Bears to a 2-1 record.
  • Fun Fact / Historical Context: The Lovie Smith Bowl. Ironically, Lovie Smith's loss here helped the Bears later in the year. By losing this game, the Texans fell behind in the race for the #1 overall draft pick, which they would eventually gift to Chicago in Week 18.
