Bears bust loose for 30-7 lead over Texans at halftime

The Bears opened with a boom and went into halftime with a 30-7 lead over the Texans on Sunday. It’s the biggest lead they’ve had this season.

On the team’s first offensive snap, running back David Montgomery went 80 yards for a touchdown. It was the Bears’ longest run since Neal Anderson in 1988 and the third-longest run of this NFL season.

Their other touchdowns came on a six-yard pass from Mitch Trubisky to tight end Jimmy Graham, a 12-yarder to Darnell Mooney and a three-yarder to Allen Robinson. Khalil Mack also dropped Deshaun Watson for a safety with 6:04 left in the second quarter.
