The Chicago Bears (3-4) will battle the Dallas Cowboys (5-2) on Sunday, where Chicago is looking to pull off another improbable win against a talented Dallas squad.
The Bears are coming off a dominating 33-14 victory over the New England Patriots (3-4), where all three phases were clicking. Justin Fields had his best game as a pro; the defense continued its second-half dominance; and Cairo Santos remained clutch in the kicking game. Elsewhere, the Cowboys have won five of their last six games, and they’ve been firing on all cylinders.
