The Houston Texans dropped their first preseason game of the year after falling to the Chicago Bears in a shortened game due to weather. Preseason games don't count in the ultimate win/loss column, but it does help prepare teams for the regular season and gives players the opportunity to earn roles on the roster.

This week things will change a bit for the Texans as they expect the starters to see their first live action of the season, which means we will get our first glimpses of some of the new key additions this offseason. The Texans' offense looked good in their first preseason matchup, but their defense struggled a bit, so look for the defense to amp things up in this one. The game is set to get underway on Friday night in Pittsburgh.
