Matt Schaub and the AFC leading Houston Texans got the ball leading the game 24-21 with just over three minutes remaining. The Texans were hoping to pickup a couple of first downs and run out the clock, when Lance Briggs hit Arian Foster in the backfield and knocked the ball loose.
In a frenzied scramble, Chicago defensive end Julius Peppers jumped on the lose ball and tucked it away. A few plays later Matt Forte took the ball in the endzone for the game-winning touchdown. The Bear defeat the Texans 28-24 on NBC's "Sunday Night Football."
