HOUSTON -- Jay Cutler's lack of chemistry with Kevin White cost the Chicago Bears dearly.
White's NFL regular season debut did not go as the Bears planned.
The tipping point on Sunday occurred when White, limited in practice with a hamstring injury, and Cutler did not communicate on a critical third quarter interception -- a sequence that forever altered the game and allowed the Houston Texans to rally for a 23-14 victory.
The day began on a high note for the Bears, who after grabbing an unexpected at halftime, had Houston on their heels.
But disaster struck to open the third quarter, when Cutler fired a pass to the sideline, deep in Chicago territory, to seemingly no one in particular that the Texans picked off.
