When Chicago Bears star linebacker Roquan Smith saw the ball tipped at the line, he knew what he had to do - catch it and secure Da Bears chances at victory.

The star Bears linebacker raced in front of the intended target, and four plays later, the Chicago Bears celebrated one wild victory.

Smith set up Bears kicker Cairo Santos' game-ending field goal when he intercepted Davis Mills deep in Houston territory, and the Bears beat former their head coach, coach Lovie Smith and the Texans 23-20 on Sunday.

Bears running back Khalil Herbert ran for a career-high 157 yards and two touchdowns. Chicago rushed for 281 yards even though top running back David Montgomery exited in the early going with knee and ankle injuries.

With the win, the Bears improved their record to 2-1, good for 3rd place in the NFL's NFC North division.
