The 2024 Hall of Fame Game will feature two franchises with contrasting fortunes. The Chicago Bears had one of the worst records in the league but got a stroke of good luck as they earned the first overall pick for the 2024 NFL draft, which they used to pick USC Trojans star Caleb Williams. They aim to build a new-look offense around him.
The Houston Texans are coming off a superb 2023 that saw them make a deep postseason run. They were helped by a Pro Bowl-caliber year from 2023 NFL Draft second overall pick C.J. Stroud. It'll be an interesting season for both rebuilding franchises, and it starts with the Hall of Fame Game.
