The Bears avoided embarrassment at the end of an ugly game against the Texans when star linebacker Roquan Smith came through with an interception to set up the winning field goal. Four plays later, Cairo Santos sealed the 23-20 victory with a 28-yard field goal as time ran out.

The Texans had third-and-one at their own 26-yard line when quarterback Davis Mills threw left for running back Rex Burkhead, but Smith cut in front of him for the interception and returned it to the 12 with 1:05 remaining.
