Overview

• Dallas fell 31-14 in Chicago, dropping to 1-2 despite briefly pulling level at 14 before failing to score on its final six drives.
• Across three games, the defense has yielded over 1,100 yards and about 90 points, a start matched in franchise history only by the 2020 unit.
• The pass defense has allowed 864 yards through three games, making this just the third Cowboys team to reach at least 860 by that point.
• Turnovers mounted with four against the Bears—Javonte Williams’ fumble, a tipped pass off George Pickens, and interceptions by Dak Prescott and Joe Milton—bringing the season total to six as the defense has produced just one takeaway, a first for the franchise through three games.
• The offense gained 396 yards but managed only 14 points, with red-zone failures and short-of-the-sticks third downs drawing sharp postgame remarks from Brian Schottenheimer and Prescott; CeeDee Lamb’s limited availability added to the struggles, with his status uncertain.
