The Chicago Bears kept their playoff hopes alive with a 31-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night.

Mitch Trubisky picked up where he left off on Thanksgiving with little trouble finding the endzone in another strong performance.

Outside of one head-scratching interception, he threw the ball with accuracy and confidence. The return of his scrambling ability added a key dynamic to the offensive success.

The injuries kept mounting for the Bears defense, but they never showed signs of a dropoff as new players rotated in.

Dallas kept it close in the second half, but Chicago was in control for most of the final three quarters.

Here are the studs from the Week 14 contest.
