Bears bounce back with massive win over old coach Matt Eberflus, Cowboys

One week after being humiliated 52-21 by the Detroit Lions, the Chicago Bears responded with fire and focus, dismantling the Dallas Cowboys 31-14 on a national stage.

It was not only Ben Johnson’s first win as the head coach, but it came at the expense of former Bears head coach Matt Eberflus, who is now the Cowboys’ defensive coordinator, only to watch his unit get picked apart by Johnson from start to finish.

Cornerback Tyrique Stevenson, who had his worst game last week against Detroit, made a game-changing play when he stripped the ball out of Cowboys running back Javonte Williams after he gained 22 yards and recovered the ball in bounds on their first possession.
