Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys vs. Chicago Bears

Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys are coming off their first win of the season. They are looking to build their momentum when they take on the injury-riddled Chicago Bears. Things are set up nicely for Prescott to have a nice game.

Chicago will be without several key starters this weekend. The defense will be missing Danny Treveathan, Lamarr Houston and Eddie Goldman. It also appears likely that Adrian Amos, Bryce Callahan and Kyle Fuller will miss the game.

The secondary could consist of spare parts with rookies and journey men in the starting lineup. This will create plenty of mismatches for the Cowboys offense.

Chicago doesn’t have a defensive back capable of matching up against Dez Bryant when at full strength. Now, they’ll even have trouble dealing with the secondary options like Terrance Williams and Cole Beasley.

The Bears have also had issues this year generating pressure on the quarterback. This combined with the Cowboys elite offensive line should provide Prescott with plenty of time to locate open targets.

It’s not out of the question that we see Prescott produce his first 300-yard game. The only hope for Chicago is the fact they have strong coaching with John Fox and Vic Fangio running the defense.
