This is what you wanna see on your Sunday nights!
It was a slow start to the “Sunday Night Football” matchup between the Houston Texans and Chicago Bears, but things ratcheted up in the second half with an intense exchange between Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair and … well … pretty much the whole Bears team.

The scene sparked up in the third quarter after Al-Shaair gave Bears quarterback Caleb Williams a smash as he was headed out of bounds while scrambling. Not surprisingly, Williams’ teammates weren’t fans of how Al-Shaair hit their quarterback, making demands to referees to call an unnecessary roughness penalty.
In the process, the Bears sideline ran up on Al-Shaair, and out of what I’m assuming to be the pressure of being completely surrounded by opponents, he threw a punch at the closest player in Chicago running back Roschon Johnson right on the facemask.
