LINCOLN PARK — The Chicago Bears played Sunday afternoon, losing to the Miami Dolphins, but linebacker DJ Williams will be back hard at work Monday night.

Williams will be behind the bar at Joe's on Weed, 940 Weed St., pouring drinks to fans from 7-10 p.m.

Williams and a surprise veteran host will conduct a halftime question-and-answer session during the game between the Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Anyone who asks a question will come on stage, get an autograph and photo with the players.

Proceeds from the event will go toward scholarships given to students at the Reflejos Reflecting Excellence Awards.

Tickets are $20 in advance at celebeventsmnf.eventbrite.com or $25 at the door.
