As the veteran in the secondary, Tracy Porter started the season off right by getting an interception on first drive of the game. Porter was also beaten by Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins in the corner of the end zone for a touchdown. Already thin at the cornerback position, rookie Deiondre Hall had to step in after Jacoby Glenn left the game with an injury. Hall did a decent job filling in, but did get beat for a 35-yard gain along sideline against fellow rookie Will Fuller in the fourth quarter. The Bears’ defensive backfield had no answer for the speedy Fuller, allowing the Texans wide receiver to accumulate five catches for 107 yards and a TD.
