Williams was only able to muster 93 yards in the 24-17 victory over the Titans, which the Bears won without scoring a single offensive touchdown. Worse still, Williams could be without two of his top targets in Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze at NRG Stadium tonight, and the latter won't return for some time if his knee injury is as bad as feared.
There were no signs of a sophomore slump as Stroud threw for 234 yards and two touchdowns in the Texans' thrilling 29-27 victory over the Colts, but the real star of the show was Joe Mixon, who charged his way to 178 yards on his Houston debut. And against a Bears unit that surrendered more than five yards per carry last weekend, the former Bengal may well have another field day.
Right now DraftKings has the Texans as heavy 6-point favorites at home. Make sure you don't miss Bears vs Texans, or any of this season's football with our NFL live streams guide.
How to watch Bears vs Texans from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the game on your usual subscription? You can still tune in via a virtual private network, or VPN. A VPN makes it appear like you're surfing the web from your home, allowing you to access the streaming services you already pay for. It's legal and easy to do.
We've tested many different VPN services and our favorite is NordVPN; it offers superb speeds, excellent customer service and a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out first to see if it's right for you. But you've got other VPN options too, so check out our full list of the best VPN services.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.K. and want to view your usual U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to NBC on Sling, or your regular cable cutting service, and watch the Bears vs Texans live stream.
