The Chicago Bears get back to work this weekend on a short week following their dominant 33-14 victory over the New England Patriots. They’re back on the road, this time heading down to Texas to take on the Dallas Cowboys and hopefully start a winning streak for the first time this season.
It’s a homecoming of sorts for head coach Matt Eberflus, who will make his first trip back to Dallas as a coach since he was a part of the Cowboys staff. Eberflus spent seven years as the Cowboys linebackers coach from 2011 to 2017 before he became the defensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts.
The Bears will need to avoid Dallas’ star defenders to have a chance, but with a sound gameplan like they had in New England, a win is possible. This game is going to be decided on the ground, however. Here are five bold predictions ahead of this matchup.
