The Bears fell to 0-3 with a deflating 31-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys Sunday night at AT&T Stadium. Here are three things about the defeat that stood out to me:
(1) As was the case with the offense a week earlier in a loss to the Eagles, the defense failed to perform up to expectations and gave the Bears little if any chance to win.
The Bears provided virtually no resistance as the Cowboys scored three touchdowns and one field goal on four first-half possessions to take an insurmountable 24-3 halftime lead.
