The Chicago Bears win over the Houston Texans was a full-on effort and took a variety of huge plays to win the game. An easy way to break things down would be to look at the five plays that may have the biggest impact on the outcome of the game.

5. Eddie Jackson Interception

With 0:45 to go in the first quarter, the Houston Texans were driving. They were down 10-7, but had scored the latest touchdown, and were on a path to make it a 14-0 run after a Justin Fields interception. The team got to the seven-yard line, and they were torching the Chicago Bears through the air.

They were testing Kindle Vildor a lot, and it ended up being one time too many. Vildor broke on the pass that Davis Mills was a second late to throw. He popped it up in the air and Eddie Jackson picked it off.

If that pass falls incomplete, and they go onto kick a field, it is 10-10, and the Texans have momentum. A touchdown and the game flips, but the interception kept them right on solid ground. The fact that the interception came off of Fields interception and came in a goal-to-go scenario made the play much more significant.
