The Houston Texans intercepted Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams twice and sacked the rookie seven times on their way to a narrow 19-13 victory.
The Texans defense made Williams look like a rookie. The pressure Houston put on the Bears' offensive line was enough to wreak havoc on the USC product. He threw one interception to Kamar Lassiter and the other to Derek Stingley Jr.

Henry To'oTo'o, Jalen Pitre and Azeez Al-Shaair all had double-digit tackles. To'oTo'o had 13 tackles and Pitre and Al-Shaair each had 10 tackles. Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. also had 1.5 sacks each.
Houston's pressure caused Williams to rush on his last two attempts. He always outran receivers when he had four or more defenders pressing against him. The quarterback finished 23 of 37 with 174 passing yards. He has yet to throw a touchdown pass in his first two games.
The Texans' offense wasn't exactly scoring at will.
