What went right and what went so sadly wrong in Sunday's Texans-Bears game.
Jalen Pitre's best game as a pro was not enough to help the helpless Houston Texans.Well, if you're someone who took the Texans to win more than the 4.5 games that most Las Vegas sports books posted before the season , then you can go ahead and crumple up the ticket. It's over. After the Texans' gut punch 23-20 loss in Chicago on Sunday, it's over. Your money went up in flames on Sunday afternoon.
It was getting quite evident from Davis Mills' play the first two weeks of the season that finding five wins on this schedule was was going to be tough. In turn, there was really no reasonable path to get to five wins without the Texans' beating the Bears on Sunday. The Bears are awful, and they ran right through the Texans' defense like a hot knife through butter.
The Texans will have to pick themselves up quickly, because an angry Chargers team is coming to town on Sunday . Let's get to Sunday's winners and losers:There weren't many bright spots for the Texans on Sunday, but Pitre's afternoon was one of them. He was able to pick off Bears QB Justin Fields, not once but twice on errant throws over the middle , and added a sack and a couple tackles for loss in the run defense.
