The Bears’ run defense was shaky in the first half versus the Texans. Eventually, Chicago’s front seven settled down and kept Houston’s running game in check. Inside linebackers Jerrell Freeman and Danny Trevathan recorded 17 and 11 tackles respectively, and should continue to be all over the field when chasing down Eagles running back Ryan Matthews.

Advantage: Bears
