The Chicago Bears host the Houston Texans at Soldier Field in Illinois this weekend in thier Week 3 clash. 

Kickoff time for Bears vs. Texans is set for 1p.m. ET on September 25.

After a challenging start to the regular NFL season, the Chicago Bears will be looking to gain some ground against winless Houston Texans who have struggled to stop the run and look vulnerable to the deep pass. The Bears will want to bounce back after losing by a touchdown to Denver last week.
