Bears again carried by defense as offense lags in loss

HOUSTON -- For a second straight week, the Chicago Bears fell behind by double digits and were carried by their defense in a game that played out much like their season opener. When the Bears needed Caleb Williams and the offense to come through on the final drive of "Sunday Night Football," the unit could not move the ball past midfield, and the result was a 19-13 loss to the Houston Texans.

After throwing for 93 yards in the Bears' win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 1, Williams was better in moments against the Texans but struggled on a night when the spotlight exposed Chicago's pass protection and rushing woes.
