The game between the Houston Texans and Chicago Bears could be the ugliest matchup of Week 3. No contest on Sunday’s schedule has a lower total, and the teams are two of the biggest Super Bowl longshots in the entire NFL.

 

Despite low expectations, a win for either team would put it near the top of the divisional standings. Houston is alone in second place and a half-game out of first place in a weak AFC South with an 0-1-1 record. The Texans tied the Indianapolis Colts in the opener before losing to the Denver Broncos. Chicago has a 1-1 record, along with the rest of the NFC North. The Bears upset the San Francisco 49ers and got blown out by the Green Bay Packers.

Let’s take a look at some key statistics and information about this matchup.
