The Bears got their first look at life without linebackers Danny Trevathan and Lamarr Houston, and gave up four scores in four drives in the first half. “We’re going to be good”. “Quick, fast and in a hurry”. With a win against Pittsburgh on Sunday, Wentz would join MARK SANCHEZ (2009) as the only rookie quarterbacks since 1970 to start and win each of their teams’ first three games of the season.

Dallas held the ball for almost 22 minutes in the first half as Prescott authored touchdown-scoring drives of 75, 72 and 73 yards en route to a 21-point halftime advantage.
“It feels good, just to see the hard work and see the results from it”, Elliott said. While the win is certainly welcomed, it wasn’t ideal, and had many things that could be corrected going forward. The once unsure Claiborne has become a scrappy, high effort and highly competitive player who is now the Cowboys best corner.
ARLINGTON, Texas -The Dallas Cowboys really know how to haze a rookie. Pressure on Prescott was non-existent from either base 3-4 or 4-3 nickel packages.
Chicago nose tackle Eddie Goldman is active after being listed as doubtful with an ankle injury. “Stay in your gaps”. “We want to keep them fresh”. “He was in stressful situations”, linebacker Jerrell Freeman said. It’s entirely possible he’s only experiencing all of this success because opposing defenses have yet to figure him out, and that could change as more game tape is produced.
Leonard Floyd remains in the starting lineup and making plays, but also breaking down too often.
Yeah, Dak tossed a TD and ran for another, while Zeke hurdled his way passed 100 yards for the first time as the Boys blasted the Bears 31-17. Floyd finished with five tackles, according to preliminary statistics. Today, he used his elusiveness and athleticism to avoid pressure and improvise his way into positive chunks of yards, in addition to this downfield passing attack.
Ezekiel Elliott didn’t score but took care of the ball and made several nice cuts en route to 140 yards on 30 carries.
Dallas opened the game with a 75-yard touchdown drive. They were so short-handed they had to call in DL Tyrone Crawford to block on PATs and field goals. Bryant didn’t speak to reporters after the game.
The front was putting next to no pressure on Prescott but coverage was too often too late in reacting to the football. Bryant played the rest of the game, but according to Jerry Jones had X-rays after the game Sunday and will have an MRI Monday. And they had 109 against the Patriots, so the team reminded fans on their official Twitter account Friday morning to enjoy the free food. They are all fighters. “You can’t get discouraged now, because we still got to play next week, we got to play the week after that”.
The coach failed to have his team ready to play Sunday. He was back on the field not long after that following treatment on the sideline, but didn’t have another catch until the opening play of the fourth quarter.

Justin Tucker drilled a 54-yard field goal with 1:02 remaining to lift unbeaten Baltimore to a 19-17 victory over winless Jacksonville. The Bears successfully executed an onside kick that officials negated with an iffy offsides penalty.
