Tomorrow's NFL Game between the 1-1 Chicago Bears and the 0-1-1 Houston Texans is more than just your average Sunday afternoon contest. There are several little side stories to it that make the game very interesting.
The first and most apparent side story is the return of Texans Head Coach Lovie Smith to Chicago. Lovie was, of course, the Head Coach of the Bears from 2004 through the 2012 seasons, when the Bears had more success than at any time since the Mike Ditka led teams in the 1980s. Ditka led the Bears to a Super Bowl Championship in 1985, but Lovie got the Bears to the Playoffs multiple times, including a Super Bowl performance following the 2006 season.
