3 causes for optimism as the Bears face the Cowboys in Week 8

As the Bears look to improve to .500, here are three reasons for optimism ahead of their Week 8 matchup vs. Cowboys.

The Chicago Bears (3-4) are riding high after walloping the New England Patriots 33-14. The Bears will look to continue their road win streak as they head to Dallas to take on the Cowboys (5-2) on Sunday afternoon.

After everything went right for Chicago last Monday, they will face another tough challenge on the road. Dallas has one of the best pass rushers in the NFL in Micah Parsons and has plenty of weapons on offense.

While the Cowboys are a 9.5-point favorite, the Bears can win by running the ball and continuing to use Justin Fields as a dual threat.

As Chicago looks to improve to 4-4 against Dallas, here are three reasons for optimism.
