Outcome: Chicago 31, Dallas 24 (6-7)


Third straight game with “empty calories” - more than 1,150 yards combined against NE, BUF, CHI - all losses

Dak slump

  • 8-of-23 on passes outside the numbers vs. CHI



0-for-9 on third down on drive’s 2 through 10


Attempted only 3 play action plays


FIRST DRIVE OF GAME WAS AWESOME: 17 plays and ended in a touchdown!
