The Bears are struggling, but it’s early to say GM Ryan Pace and coach Matt Nagy’s fates are sealed.

Brad Biggs (8-4)

All of a sudden, the Bears defense is not playingwell and it probablywasmore embarrassing to allow400 yards passing toMatthew Stafford than itwas to be steamrolled by Aaron Rodgers theweek before. It has reached the point where you begin towonder what else can go wrong for this team. This Sunday they encounter yet another opponent with a host of its own problems. The Texans are 30th in total defense, 31st against the run and 27th on third down. That should be an indicator the Bears can have success withDavidMontgomery, but there are no sure things when it comes to the Bears and the ground game. It is with a supremely lowlevel of confidence I believe the Bears find away to get off the schneid.

Colleen Kane (8-4)

Bears fans don’t need to be reminded who the correct pick is between DeshaunWatson and Mitch Trubisky, and the Bears defense should have their hands full with Watson on Sunday. But the Bears running game has looked better the last twoweeks and should be able to find success against a Texans defense that has struggled against the run at times this year. Plus, this losing streak has to end sometime, right? Right?

DanWiederer (9-3)

With the Bears’ normally reliable defense in disarray after allowing 853 yards and 68 points the last two weeks, a visit fromDeshaunWatson probably is the last thing they need right now. Still, beyondWatson, this matchup is more than favorable forMattNagy’s team. Defensively, the Texans have a league-loweight takeaways and rank second-to-last in rushing defense. Coming off their most complete offensive performance this season, the Bears should have chances to move the ball. Then it’ll be up to the defense to snap back to life and limitWatson enough. Mercifully, the 56-day drought without a victory comes to an end.
