The Chicago Bears (1-0) are aiming to outmaneuver a potential Super Bowl competitor on Sunday as they head to Houston to take on the Texans (1-0). Both teams are coming into the match fresh from a win, so confidence and exciting play are sure to run high in this week’s game. The Bears are a clear underdog but given their defeat of the Tennessee Titans last week, a surprise win on Sunday would have them dominating AFC South teams with a 2-0 record this season. It’s a rare matchup, with the Texans part of AFC South and the Bears in NFC North, resulting in one regular season game every four years. You won’t want to miss this, so here is all the info you need to watch “Sunday Night Football.”

Last season’s record, the home-field advantage, and their Week 1 win against Indianapolis have the Texans looking like the favorite for Sunday’s game.
