The Chicago Bears’ two-month long nightmare finally came to an end on Sunday when they dominated the Houston Texans on the lakefront, winning 36-7 and snapping their seven-game losing streak.
The win was a complete team effort, as the offense started fast and didn’t look back, while the defense made life miserable for Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, sacking him six times and forcing two turnovers on the day.
Though the season has slipped away, this was a win fans can feel good about. All three phases exceeded expectations and the Bears finally have life again in the playoff race. There was a lot to unpack from this victory, so here are my key takeaways following the win.
