The Houston Texans intercepted Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams twice and sacked the rookie seven times en route to a narrow 19-13 victory.
The Texans defense made Williams look like a rookie, and the pressure Houston put on the Bears offensive line was enough to wreak havoc on the USC native, who threw one interception to Kamar Lassiter and another to Derek Stingley Jr.

Henry Toto, Jalen Pitre and Azeez Al-Shail all recorded double figures in tackles. Toto had 13 tackles and Pitre and Al-Shail had 10 each. Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. also recorded 1.5 sacks each.
Houston's pressure caused Williams to panic on his final two drives. He consistently overthrew receivers when four or more defenders were on him. The quarterback completed 23 of 37 passes for 174 yards. He has yet to throw a touchdown pass through his first two games.
The Texans' offense just couldn't score as they hoped.
