Why was Bears-Texans game delayed?
Chicago and Houston's duel with one another was going about as smoothly as one could imagine until the sideline official went down with 13:13 left in the third quarter.
The incident took place at the 20-yard line marker on the sideline. The man, Dwight Steffler, appeared to trip over the barrier after evading Chicago and Houston players' oncoming rush. He proceeded to fall and hit his head, sending his glasses flying in the process.

They brought over the paramedics and their equipment. They sat him up and he began talking. And they asked for the cart to come out and now you can see him.

Steffler has been a member of chain crews for multiple seasons, even offering his services during the Super Bowl. No immediate update wa
