The Houston Texans took advantage of four takeaways and defeated the Chicago Bears Sunday night, 13-6.
The Chicago Bears turned the ball over four times in the first half on two Jay Cutler interceptions, one fumble from Michael Bush and one fumble from tight end Kellen Davis, digging themselves in a hole they could not get out of.
Jay Cutler was hit hard as he stepped up to throw late in the second quarter, and although he finished the first half, he was diagnosed with a concussion at halftime and did not return to the game.
Backup quarterback Jason Campbell took over for the injured Cutler and led the Bears into the Houston redzone, however, they had to settle for a field goal to cut the deficit, 10-6. The field goal would be all the offense the Jason Campbell led Bears could muster.
Winners
Statistically, no offensive player performed exceptionally well, but on a wet, rainy night, Matt Schaub's drive in the first half, which led to the only touchdown of the night, proved to be the difference. Schaub was 14-of-26 for 95 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Arian Foster rushed 29 times for 102 yards, adding 15 yards and one touchdown receiving as well.
Losers
Jason Campbell was 11-of-19 for 94 yards through the air, and Matt Forte rushed 16 times for only 39 yards. Brandon Marshall had seven receptions for 99 yards. Bears cornerback Tim Jennings had two interceptions in the first half and now has eight interceptions on the season.
Odds
Houston, a one-point underdog, covered the spread with their seven point victory.
Up Next
The Bears will look to rebound in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football. The 8-1 Houston Texans face the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has a concussion and will not return to Sunday night's game against the Houston Texans. Veteran backup Jason Campbell replaced Cutler when the team returned to the field after halftime.
Cutler took a nasty hit from Texans linebacker Tim Dobbins on a third-down play in the second quarter of the game. Dobbins received an unnecessary roughness penalty on the play, but an offsetting foul by Cutler gave the Bears a second chance. Cutler carried the ball himself on the next play, diving head first for a new set of downs before throwing his second interception of the game.
The Bears starting quarterback has yet to miss a full game this season, though Jason Campbell has taken a few snaps in his place in the weeks prior to this one. This is the second time in his career that Cutler has suffered a concussion.
Cutler leaves the game 7-for-14 with 40 yards. he ran the ball three times for 37 yards.

With 7:31 left in the half, the Texans regained possession and began a seven play, 66-yard drive ending with Arian Foster catching a touchdown pass from Matt Schaub to give the Texans a 10-3 lead.
The Bears began their own drive following the score, moving the ball to the Texans 39-yard line. But Jay Cutler's second interception of the half ended any scoring threat and took the game to halftime with the Texans leading, 10-3.

The Chicago Bears trail the Houston Texans at the end of one quarter on a rainy Sunday Night Football, 3-0.
The Bears seemingly recovered a fumble on the opening kick-off, and although the ruling was overturned as the Houston returner's knee was down, the loose ball was a sign of things to come. Chicago has turned the ball over three times, two fumbles and one interception, and Houston has added one interception of their own in what has been a wet, sloppy game thus far.
Houston scored the only points of the game off the Bears first turnover. Tight end Kellen Davis fumbled on a devastating hit from Texans defensive back Daniel Manning, setting the Texans up in Bears' territory. The drive stalled, but Shayne Graham converted the field goal to give Houston the lead.
Jay Cutler is 4-of-5 for 29 yards and one interceptions for the Bears, while running back Matt Forte has three carries for five yards on the ground.
