CANTON, Ohio — The Bears led the Texans 21-17 in the third quarter of the Hall of Fame game, their preseason opener, Thursday when the rest of it was called off because of lightning and heavy rain.

The Bears were without quarterback Caleb Williams and the rest of their starters. The Texans held out Pro Bowl quarterback C.J. Stroud and their starters as well.

Officials cleared the field and seats with 3:31 left in the third quarter and waited 36 minutes before calling off the remained of the game.
