Cowboys win by 20

The Cowboys held on to beat the Bears, 49-29, on Sunday afternoon. Justin Fields finished the game 17-for-23 passing for 151 yards with two touchdowns. The Cowboys ended the day with 442 total yards of offense.

Pollard scores his third touchdown; Cowboys find a quick answer

Following a Cole Kmet touchdown, the Cowboys answered quickly with a 54-yard touchdown run from running back Tony Pollard. It marked Pollard’s third touchdown of the game. With Ezekiel Elliott out with a knee injury, Pollard has been the lead back Sunday.

The score extended the Cowboys lead, 49-29, in the fourth quarter.

TE Cole Kmet scores his first TD since 2020

Justin Fields threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to tight end Cole Kmet. The Bears went for two but couldn’t convert. Dallas remained in front, 42-29, early in the fourth quarter.

The touchdown was Kmet’s first since Dec. 6, 2020. The 2020 second-round draft pick didn’t find the end zone at all in 2021 and hadn’t yet scored this season until Sunday.

Parsons returns fumble for touchdown

On third-and-16, Justin Fields connected with running back David Montgomery for a short pass. Montgomery made a cut and nearly reached the first down marker, but he coughed up the football and it flew out of his arms.

Dallas star linebacker Micah Parsons jumped on the football. In a strange sequence of events, Bears Fields jumped over Parsons, who was on the ground, and nobody touched Parsons. The linebacker stood up and ran the ball back 36 yards for a touchdown.

The score put the Cowboys over the 40 mark, with a 42-23 lead.

Cowboys running back Tony Pollard scores again

Tony Pollard scored his second touchdown of the game, this time on a 7-yard run. The Cowboys extended their lead, 35-23, in the third quarter.

The Cowboys made quick work of the Bears defense with a seven-play, 75-yard drive that took less than three minutes of game time. Dallas eclipsed 350 total yards of offense for the game.

Herbert runs in a touchdown

The Bears have fought back into the game. Running back Khalil Herbert scored on a 12-yard touchdown run. Just minutes earlier, Herbert appeared to lose a fumble, but the call on the field was reversed and the Bears retained possession.

The Bears went for a two-point conversion but failed to score. Dallas still held a lead, 28-23, early in the third quarter.

Eddie Jackson picks off Prescott

On Dallas’ first play following the Bears’ touchdown, quarterback Dak Prescott threw a pass that was intercepted by Bears safety Eddie Jackson. The turnover set up the Bears with a chance to score again before halftime.

The Bears ran a couple plays and took a shot at the end zone, but ran out of time. Kicker Cairo Santos made a 36-yard field goal. At halftime, Dallas held a 28-17 lead over the Bears.

Bears WR N’Keal Harry catches touchdown pass from Fields

With time winding down in the first half, Justin Fields threw an interception, but the play was called back for a roughing the passer penalty. Fields took a hard hit on the play and drew the flag.

On the very next play, Fields connected with receiver N’Keal Harry for a 17-yard touchdown pass. The touchdown was Harry’s first in a Bears uniform. The Bears cut into the Cowboys’ lead, 28-14.

The Bears drove 75 yards on 12 plays, with the help of the 15-yard roughing penalty.

Prescott finds TE Jake Ferguson for a touchdown

The Cowboys added their fourth touchdown of the first half on a 1-yard pass from QB Dak Prescott to tight end Jake Ferguson. Dallas extended its lead, 28-7, midway through the second quarter.

The Cowboys scored touchdowns on each of their first four possessions. Prescott completed 16 of his first 19 pass attempts for 180 yards with two touchdowns.

Pollard pushes through for 18-yard touchdown

The Cowboys offense continues to have no problems against the Bears’ defense. Running back Tony Pollard busted through the line and found the end zone with relative ease on an 18-yard touchdown run. The score extended Dallas’ lead, 21-7, in the second quarter.

On the previous play, quarterback Dak Prescott broke free for a 25-yard gain right up the middle. The Cowboys had 224 total yards on their first three possessions.

Fields runs in a touchdown

Quarterback Justin Fields ran in a 3-yard score to put the Bears on the board. They cut into Dallas’ lead, 14-7, early in the second quarter. This was Fields’ third rushing touchdown of the season, and second in as many weeks.

Fields ran in the score one play after making a nifty sidearm throw to Darnell Mooney on first-and-goal. The Bears drove 75 yards on 12 plays. They converted two third downs along the way.

Prescott finds Lamb for touchdown

The Bears’ first possession ended in a punt. Justin Fields missed receiver Equanimeous St. Brown with a deep ball on the first play from scrimmage. An offensive pass interference penalty against receiver Dante Pettis on the next play sent the drive moving backward. The Bears weren’t able to recover from the penalty.

On Dallas’ following drive, Dak Prescott led the Cowboys 69 yards on eight plays. He connected with receiver CeeDee Lamb for a 21-yard touchdown pass.

Prescott scores on 7-yard touchdown run

The Cowboys took the opening kickoff and drove 75 yards on 11 plays to score the game’s opening touchdown. Quarterback Dak Prescott ran in a 7-yard touchdown himself to cap the drive. Prescott was 4-for-5 passing on the opening drive for 39 yards. Running back Tony Pollard took four handoffs and caught one pass, totaling 42 yards from scrimmage on the drive.

With Robert Quinn now in Philadelphia, the Bears defense started Trevis Gipson and Al-Quadin Muhammad at defensive end.

Injury updates

The Bears will be without starting right tackle Larry Borom, who has already been ruled out with a concussion. The Bears seem likely to play veteran tackle Riley Reiff in place of Borom, although they also activated second-year tackle Alex Leatherwood from the illness list ahead of the game.

The Bears will be without three starters on the offensive line. In addition to Borom, center Lucas Patrick (toe) and guard Cody Whitehair (knee) are sidelined. Veteran Michael Schofield is poised to start at left guard for the second week in a row and center Sam Mustipher is likely to be snapping the football again.

For the Cowboys, running back Ezekiel Elliott is doubtful to play due to a knee injury. The Cowboys elevated running back Malik Davis from the practice squad ahead of the game. Star pass rusher Micah Parsons is also dealing with a shoulder injury, but coach Mike McCarthy said this week that he wasn’t concerned about Parsons’ shoulder.

Inacitves update: Elliott is officially listed as inactive by the Cowboys, so he will not play Sunday. Parsons is active and will suit up.

For the Bears, cornerback Lamar Jackson, tight end Jake Tonges, tackle Larry Borom and receiver Isaiah Coulter are listed as inactive.

What to expect from the Cowboys

Parsons will be a major challenge for the Bears’ banged up offensive line. He leads the Cowboys with eight sacks in seven games. He was the AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year last season.

The Bears traded star defensive end Robert Quinn to the Eagles this week in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick. Who might step up to fill Quinn’s production? That should be one of the stories of the game.

Can the Bears keep the positive mojo?

No doubt, this Cowboys defense will be a tough test for the Bears offense. Fields said he studied tape of Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson ahead of the win over the Patriots. The Bears called more designed runs for Fields and moved him outside the pocket more frequently in the win over New England.

Can they keep that going?

Running back Khalil Herbert nearly had as many touches as starting back David Montgomery last week. The Bears will need to lean on both backs if they are going to have success in Dallas.
