The Houston Texans achieved a hard-fought 19-13 victory against the Chicago Bears, marking their first win on Sunday Night Football since 2019 and a 2-0 start for the first time since 2016. Despite their earlier success, their running game struggled, particularly after Joe Mixon suffered an ankle injury that hampered his performance.

Head Coach DeMeco Ryans noted the Bears' adeptness in disrupting their blocking schemes, which caused confusion among the players. Offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik attempted to shift from a zone to a power run scheme, but execution issues resulted in disappointing yardage.

As they prepare for their next game against the Minnesota Vikings, the Texans must refine their running game and improve blocking consistency in order to regain the effectiveness they displayed in Week 1.
