Bears Beat Cowboys 31-14 in Ben Johnson’s First Win

Following a players-only meeting, a week focused on situational work set up Chicago’s defensive rebound.

Overview

  • Rookie QB Caleb Williams threw for 298 yards and four touchdowns, including a 65-yard flea-flicker strike to fellow rookie Luther Burden III.
  • Chicago’s defense held Dallas to 14 points and produced four takeaways, with Tremaine Edmunds logging 14 tackles and two interceptions and receiving a game ball.
  • Johnson said the practice emphasis targeted third down, red zone and two-minute situations, and the Bears outperformed Dallas in each area.
  • The sharper effort followed Johnson’s public critique of practice habits after allowing 51 points to Detroit and a players-only meeting led by Jaquan Brisker and Grady Jarrett.
  • Rookie tight end Colston Loveland exited with a hip issue that will be evaluated Monday, as Chicago turns to a Week 4 trip to face the Raiders.
