FRISCO, TEXAS — The Dallas Cowboys may be 1–1, but they haven’t looked like a team in rhythm. After needing overtime and a 64-yard field goal to escape the Giants, they head into Chicago with more to prove than to celebrate.
Meanwhile, the Bears are licking their wounds after a blowout loss to Detroit—setting up a perfect opportunity for Dallas to get right.
There’s some help on the way: Newly signed defensive end Jadeveon Clowney is officially suited up and ready to go. He could be a key addition to defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus’ unit, which has struggled to generate consistent pressure and stop the pass through two games.
On offense, CeeDee Lamb continues his scorching start—he’s one 100-yard game away from tying Michael Irvin’s five-game streak. Dak Prescott has handled the blitz better than most this year, and with a win, he’ll tie Tony Romo for the third-most QB victories in team history (78).
Javonte Williams has quietly become the red zone weapon Dallas lacked last year, scoring three times already. And kicker Brandon Aubrey? Just one more 50-yarder and he becomes the Cowboys’ all-time leader in long-distance makes.
Dallas leads the all-time series with Chicago 16–12, but if they don’t clean things up on both sides of the ball, that record might not mean much this weekend.
