The Cowboys’ special teams unit is surrendering an average of 15.7 yards per punt return (third-most in the NFL). Chicago’s Eddie Royal has been a sparkplug in the punt return game thus far. Royal had a 31-yard punt return in Week 1, and a 65-yard return for a touchdown in Week 2. Royal putting the Bears in good field position might be the only way Chicago has a fighting chance at leaving Texas with a victory.

Advantage: Bears
