Texans Offense Has To Be Ready For 'The Real Deal' Chicago Bears Defense

Matt Spiegel of 670 The Score in Chicago joins Next Up to preview the Houston Texans hosting the Chicago Bears for Sunday Night Football.

Caleb Williams makes his first primetime start in Week 2 against the Texans, led by head coach DeMeco Ryans and quarterback C.J. Stroud.

The 2022 Heisman Trophy winner and first overall pick made his NFL debut in a 24-17 win against the Tennessee Titans. However, the defense and special teams scored the Bears' two touchdowns, and Williams threw for 93 yards and rushed for 15 yards. "Not everybody is going to be C.J. Stroud," Spiegel said.

The Texans defeated the Indianapolis Colts 29-27 in their season opener, and Stroud had 234 passing yards and two touchdowns. Despite a strong wide receiver core, the current Offensive Rookie of the Year must watch for a strong Bears secondary and "the real deal" defensive line anchored by Montez Sweat and Darrell Taylor on the ends.
