The Bears and Texans will kick off NFL preseason action with their game Thursday to begin the 2024 Pro Football Hall of Fame weekend festivities.
The Bears are in the middle of a complete rebuild. With the No. 1 overall pick, they secured former USC quarterback and blue-chip prospect Caleb Williams. The Bears also added Rome Odunze from Washington to enhance a fledgling receiving unit and made D.J. Moore a critical offensive presence by extending him for the next four seasons.
The Bears have been searching for their first playoff win since 2011, a Divisional Round win against the Seahawks. Since then, the team has been plagued by many injuries, coaching changes, quarterback carousels and losing seasons. In 2023, the Bears finished 7-10, remaining in the playoff hunt until Week 16 in what was now-Steelers quarterback Justin Fields’ final season in Chicago.

Meanwhile, the Texans have turned the corner, hitting big on quarterback C.J. Stroud out of Ohio State in the 2023 NFL Draft. With his quick development and a variety of weapons around him, the Texans were able to flip the script with a 10-7 record and an AFC South division title last year.
