The Chicago Bears were defeated by the Dallas Cowboys, 49-29, on Sunday to improve to 3-5 on the season, where the offense was impressive and the defense embarrassed.
While this felt like a moral victory given the progression of Justin Fields and the offense, it was an “embarrassing” day for the defense. They allowed a season-high 42 points and 440 yards of total offense, and they didn’t have an answer for the Cowboys on the ground or through the air.
