Chicago Bears (5-7) vs Houston Texans (4-8)
Sunday, Dec. 13th @ Noon (CST)

Houston Texans lead series 4-0-0
BRANDIN COOKS vs. KYLE FULLER
With DeAndre Hopkins two states away, Will Fuller suspended for the remainder of the season, Kenny Stills recently cut and Randall Cobb injured...the Houston receiver room comes down to Cooks and a bunch of nobodies. While Cooks is also dealing with injuries, he has put up a respectable 57 catches for 784.yards this season. Chicago's defense has looked very vulnerable since returning from their Bye Week, but Fuller is still playing his part at a high level. Can Fuller shut down the best receiver Watson may have on Sunday?
ZACH CUNNINGHAM vs. COLE KMET
The Bears rookie Tight End had himself a little coming out party against Detroit with five catches...one going for six points. Houston ILB Cunningham has been struggling in pass coverage all season. While he will spend most of his day trying to shut down a sudden existence of the Bears running game...expect him to draw Kmet if and when the Bears get inside the twenty. Can the rookie keep up the momentum from last Sunday?
DESHAUN WATSON vs. MY BROKEN HEART
It's like the final dagger of the 2017 NFL Draft. I can forgive Ryan Pace for being apprehensive with Patrick Mahomes, but ignoring the most pro ready quarterback seems even worse with hindsight than it did over three years ago. I don't care who wins, just watching Watson step onto Soldier Field in another uniform is going to be a gut punch. Apologies for the emo soy boy rant about an old wound, but both these teams kind of suck right now...so I had nothing else to focus on.
In their defeat against the Lions this past Sunday, the Chicago Bears scored three rushing touchdowns in the first half of the game for the first time since the 1990 season. Prior to Sunday, the Bears had scored two rushing touchdowns all season...with one coming from notoriously immobile QB Nick Foles.
