That also means that today’s grid has asked for players that have played for both the Houston Texans and Chicago Bears.
And, it also means that you’re probably stuck on this particular box and you’re looking for a little help. Sound about right so far?
Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played for both the Texans and the Bears.
Rex Grossman
Rex Grossman was selected in the first round of the 2003 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears. He played nine seasons in the league, primarily with the Bears but also had stints with the Houston Texans and Washington Redskins.
Grossman’s most notable achievement came in the 2006 season when he led the Bears to Super Bowl XLI, although they ultimately lost to the Indianapolis Colts. That same season, he posted a career-high in passing yards with 3,193 and touchdowns with 23.
While his career was marked by inconsistency and injuries, Grossman managed to make a significant impact in the seasons where he was the starter. He finished his NFL career with 10,232 passing yards, 56 touchdowns, and 60 interceptions.

Brian Hoyer
Brian Hoyer is a veteran quarterback who has primarily been a backup with multiple NFL teams. He entered the league undrafted in 2009 and signed with the New England Patriots, backing up Tom Brady and earning a Super Bowl ring with the team in Super Bowl XLIX.
Hoyer has also started for several teams, including the Cleveland Browns (his lone 3000+ Yard Passing Season was there), Houston Texans, Chicago Bears, and San Francisco 49ers, with career passing stats including over 10,000 yards, 53 touchdowns, and a passer rating in the mid-80s.
Adewale Ogunleye
Adewale Ogunleye was signed by the Miami Dolphins in 2000 as an undrafted free agent. He played 10 seasons in the NFL, primarily with the Dolphins and the Chicago Bears, and also spent a season with the Houston Texans.
In 2003 with the Dolphins, Ogunleye led the AFC in sacks with 15 and earned Pro Bowl honors. He was traded to the Chicago Bears in 2004, where he continued to be a consistent pass-rusher.
Over the course of his career, Ogunleye recorded 393 tackles, 67 sacks, and 14 forced fumbles. He was known for his ability to disrupt the quarterback and was a key component in some of the NFL’s top defenses during his playing years.
