Analysis: Either because of matchups or because they're on a roll, several Bears players can pose a real threat to the Houston Texans in Sunday night's game.
They did knock off the Vikings in Minneapolis last year as a 3 1/2-point underdog but stepping up and doing it against a team as talented as the Houston Texans is another matter. They should have scored a staggering upset when they led Detroit 26-14 with 4 ½ minutes left last year and found a way to lose 31-26.The last time the Bears beat a 6 1/2-point favorite on the road in prime time was Bill Belichick in Matt Eberflus' first season of 2022.
This is what the Bears think they are, and if they're going to accomplish the upset, there are several players they can lean on because of their talent, their matchup or both. Edwards had 15 tackles last week and has the all-important weakside linebacker spot in this scheme down now. He and Andrew Billings wrecked the Titans running game in the second half. Whether he's able to do it again might depend on how much the Bears decide to go with a six-man box to try to stop the passing game. No doubt they'll be more interested in doing that.
