Coming off their seventh win of the season in Tennessee, the Chicago Bears have now won six straight games.
At 7-1 they have the same record as the 2006 Chicago Bears, who went on to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl that season.
They host the 7-1 Houston Texans this Sunday night, who currently sit on top the AFC South right now.
Led by QB Matt Schaub, RB Arian Foster and WR Andre Johnson this Texans' offense can really get things going in a hurry.
The Texans' defense allows the third fewest yards per game (286.1) and the fourth fewest points per game (17.1).
Led by DE J.J. Watt, this Texans' defense can scare as much as the Bears defense at times.
Watt has 10.5 sacks and 10 pass deflections so far...
