Joe Mixon leads the Houston Texans in a “Sunday Night Football” matchup with top pick QB Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears. Mixon ran for 159 yards and a touchdown in his first game with the Texans to earn AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors and help the team to a win over the Colts. Williams struggled in his NFL debut, but the Bears got a victory over the Titans thanks to scores on defense and special teams.
