FRISCO, Texas – The Cowboys fell to 1-2 on the season following a 31-14 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon.

After tying the game up at 14 mid-way through the second quarter, Dallas gave up 17 unanswered points to the Bears the rest of the way.

It was a frustrating loss that Dak Prescott called “unacceptable” and Brian Schottenheimer described as “humbling,” and things do not get any easier with the Green Bay Packers coming to Dallas next Sunday.

Here are some more notable numbers from Week 3’s loss:

For the second time in three games, the Cowboys offense failed to score any points in the second half. After tying the game up at 14 with 7:57 left to go in the second quarter, Dallas failed to find any points on the score board again. They also allowed the Bears to add 10 more points before the half despite getting the ball with four minutes to play trailing by three, and receiving the second half kickoff, missing an opportunity for a potential 14-point swing.

The Cowboys were held without a sack on defense for the first time this year. The lack of pressure on Caleb Williams allowed him to have one of the best days of his career. More alarming for the Cowboys is they have just four sacks this year in the first three games combined. No player on the team has more than one. It was also the first game of Williams’ career where he did not get sacked, a year after being the most sacked quarterback in the league going down 68 times in his rookie season.

7

After a first half that saw Dallas averaging 6.5 yards per carry, the Cowboys offense ran the ball just seven times in the second half against the Bears. Javonte Williams, who had nine carries for 67 yards at halftime, carried the ball just once on the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter, and did not have another rush after that. Miles Sanders had the other six carries for 27 yards.

11

Believe or not, the Cowboys out-gained the Bears by 11 yards. The 396-385 yard comparison seems a bit hollow considering the Cowboys lost by 17 points and never got within two scores in the second half. The four turnovers made up the difference for the Bears.

13

The 13 catches by Jake Ferguson is not only a career-high but it’s the most by a Cowboys tight end in 13 years. Back in 2012, Jason Witten hauled in 18 against the Giants, setting a franchise record. Ferguson now has 27 receptions this year, the most by any Cowboys player in the first three games of the season.

19

The Bears made a statement drive in the third quarter, reeling off a 19-play drive that chewed up 75 yards and nearly 10 minutes of the game clock. More importantly, the Bears finished the drive with a TD pass, extending their lead to 17. But the drive was so long because the Bears converted four third downs before getting the touchdown on fourth down.

22

On 22 of Caleb Williams’ 28 passing attempts, his wide receivers had three or more yards of separation against the Cowboys’ cornerbacks. All four of Williams’ touchdown passes went to targets that had three or more yards of separation, and seven of his eight receivers average more than five yards of separation in the game.

27.3%

On third down, the Cowboys offense converted just three of 11 attempts, good for 27.3% conversion. It’s their lowest third down conversion rate of the season after going six of 14 against the Giants in Week 2 and seven of 11 against the Eagles in Week 1. Additionally, the Cowboys were one for four in the red zone, which was also their lowest conversion rate of the season.

58

The first half has been a huge problem for the Cowboys’ defense in the first three games. After allowing 24 to the Bears on Sunday, Dallas has now yielded 58 first half points, averaging 19.3 per game in the opening two quarters.

87

For the second week in a row, the Cowboys defense has held their opponent to below 100 yards rushing, as Chicago’s offense ran for 87 yards on 29 carries for an average of 3 yards per carry. The fact that they threw for 298 yards and four touchdowns makes it difficult to be pleased with that statistic, but of the eight touchdowns that Dallas has allowed over the last two weeks, only one of them has come on the ground.
