The Chicago Bears got off to a quick start, courtesy of two straight scoring drives to open the game.

But on their third drive, the fun met its end when Justin Fields threw a gross-looking interception. The Bears' defense was forced onto the field, tasked with defending a three point lead they needed to defend.

The Texans marched into the red zone, and a score of some form seemed likely, but Eddie Jackson saved the day with a clutch interception in the back of the end zone off a deflection.

If Fields continues to struggle in the passing game, then the Bears are going to need a lot of big plays defensively to carry them to a win today.

Plays like the one Eddie Jackson just made.
