The Chicago Bears welcome the Dallas Cowboys to Soldier Field on Sunday in Week 3. Quarterback Caleb Williams will try to lead Chicago to their first victory after falling to 0-2. Dallas looks to build momentum following a dramatic overtime victory against the New York Giants that required a 64-yard field goal and late defensive heroics.
Both teams arrive with significant questions to answer. The Bears surrendered 52 points to Detroit in Week 2, exposing major defensive vulnerabilities that Williams and the offense couldn’t overcome. Meanwhile, Dallas showed resilience in their comeback win but struggled defensively throughout regulation, raising concerns about their ability to contain opposing offenses consistently.

Key Details for Week 3
Dallas Cowboys
Quarterback Dak Prescott has thrown for 549 yards and two touchdowns while completing 69% of his attempts. His favorite target is CeeDee Lamb, who leads the team with 16 receptions for 222 yards.
Kicker Brandon Aubrey emerged as an unlikely hero in Week 2, drilling that remarkable 64-yard field goal to force overtime. His leg strength has provided Dallas with an extended field goal range, adding a new dimension to their offensive strategy in crucial situations.
Chicago Bears
Williams continues to underwhelm his critics, but his stats are not bad. Through two games, Williams has completed 61% of his passes with three touchdowns and one interception. Bears Wide receiver Rome Odunze is Williams’ primary target, hauling in 13 catches for 165 yards this season.
Prediction
It is time to let up on Williams. He will silence the critics and finally show he was worthy of the Number One pick last year.
