ARLINGTON, Texas -- Now, you understand why the Dallas Cowboys didn’t trade Ron Leary in the offseason, and why they drafted Chaz Green in the third round last year.

Each played an important role Sunday in the Cowboys’ 31-17 win over the Chicago Bears.

Leary, a starter last year until La’el Collins replaced him, was disappointed the Cowboys didn’t trade or release him during the offseason since he couldn’t win the starting job with the Cowboys. Well, he entered the game in the third quarter when Collins suffered a sprained big toe, and he played well.
