The temperature of the Texans-Bears game got turned up early in the second half when Caleb Williams started taking some brutal hits inches from the sideline.
Halfway through the 3rd quarter, the Houston defense got another lick on the first overall pick, and followed it up with Azeez Al-Shaair dishing a sucker punch to a Bears player who was simply standing on the sideline, uninvolved in anything regarding the play.

Somehow, the refs missed the punch amidst the scuffle and Al-Shaair and the Texans were not flagged.
The Texans linebacker will surely be fined a hefty amount by the league office during the week.
