Today's Bears vs Cowboys live stream will see if Dallas can keep pace in what has emerged as the toughest division in the NFL. A win over Chicago would give the Cowboys their sixth win of the season, keeping them close to the (6-0) Eagles and the (6-1) Giants. There's only problem for Dak and company: the Bears are coming off their most convincing win of the Justin Fields era, and looking to stay hot for this NFL live stream

Bears (3-4) are coming off a 33-14 win over the Patriots last Monday Night. Quarterback Justin Fields put in one of his best performances, racking up 261 yards of total offense while throwing and running for a touchdown. The game also marked the second-straight game, Fields gained 80-plus rushing yards.  He along with running backs Khalil Herbert and David Montgomery have helped make the Bears the NFL’s top rushing team averaging 181 yard-per-game.

Defensively, Chicago only allowed 18.9 points-per-game which ranks them seventh in the league. Veterans Roquan Smith and Eddie Jackson lead that charge. Smith leads the NFL in tackles with 78 and Jackson is tied for the second most interceptions with three.

The Cowboys (5-2) have their franchise quarterback Dak Prescott back under center after missing five games with a broken thumb. Last week, Dak completed 19-of-his-25 passes for 207 yards and a touchdown for a passer rating of 113.2. He was supported by a solid ground game as Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott ran for a combined total of 140 yards. Elliott had two touchdowns.

Dallas will be without Elliott when they kickoff against the Bears. The franchise running back is dealing with a knee injury. Cowboys Tight-end Dalton Schultz, previously listed as questionable due to a knee injury, is active today.

Like the Bears, when the Cowboys have had success this season, it’s mostly because their ground game and defense has been on point. Dallas allows the second fewest points-per-game this season surrendering just 14.9 ppg. Defensive leaders Micah Parsons and Trevon Diggs have picked up from where they left off a season ago. Parsons is tied for second in the NFL with seven sacks, while Diggs is in a nine-way tie with Eddie Jackson for second in interceptions with three.

The Action Network has the Cowboys as10-point favorites against the Bears.
