The Houston Texans will take on the Chicago Bears Sunday afternoon at Soldier Field in Chicago. Here are three major takeaways to watch in the Texans road game against the Bears:Watson’s revengeFor years, Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has said all the right things, including this week saying he’s not after revenge for not being drafted by Chicago in 2017.
