In two games, the Bears have surrendered a total of eight sacks (tied for the most in the NFL). Brian Hoyer stepped in during the second half of Chicago’s Week 2 loss and looked okay. Assuming that Jeffery is healthy, Hoyer should have a dependable target to throw to, along with wide receiver Eddie Royal, who has probably been the Bears’ best player so far this year. All of this sounds good, but the protection (or lack thereof) from the right and left tackles on the offensive line it too big of an issue to overlook.

Advantage: Cowboys
