The Houston Texans picked off Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams twice and sacked the rookie seven times on their way to a narrow 19-13 victory.
The Texans’ defense made Williams look like a rookie player. The pressure Houston put on the Bears’ offensive line was enough to cause havoc for the USC product. He threw one interception to Kamar Lassiter and the other to Derek Stingley Jr.
