CHICAGO—Jaylon Smith stood with his back to the field, gesturing aggressively toward Michael Bennett. Bennett, who has been a Cowboy for only a little over a month, took the blue Microsoft Surface in his hands and threw it on the ground in front of the Cowboys bench.
Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky had just scored a rushing touchdown, breaking the pocket and making a cut to avoid a Cowboys tackle on his way to the end zone to put Chicago up 31-14 in the fourth quarter of its eventual 31-24 win.
Later in that quarter, veteran tight end Jason Witten paced in a tight circle and shouted at fellow tight ends, Blake Jarwin and Dalton Schultz.
