The third game of the season for the Dallas Cowboys saw them facing a depleted Chicago Bears team with a backup quarterback and missing players all over the defense. It was a game that the Cowboys should have dominated despite being without Tyron Smith and Orlando Scandrick themselves, and of course rolling with Dak Prescott. But we have seen Dallas stumble too often before in similar situations.
Fortunately, that did not happen as they rolled to a big early lead and parlayed that into a 31-17 win. We would see Ezekiel Elliott have his first 100 yard game, Cole Beasley would catch the longest pass of his career, and Lance Dunbar would score his first ever NFL touchdown.
