Someone should check Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair for CTE … this man is taking unprovoked swings at Chicago Bears reserves.
Sunday Night Football began slowly between the Texans and the Chicago Bears, but the action intensified in the second half with a seriously heated exchange.
Things got chippy in the third quarter when Al-Shaair pushed Caleb Williams out of bounds on a scramble. 
Bears players didn’t appreciate Al-Shaair’s push on Williams, demanding an unnecessary roughness penalty from the officials.

Joe Mixon left the game with what appeared to be a hip drop tackle.
