Tight end Zach Miller was Hoyer’s favorite target all night, and resembled the playmaker that we saw in 2015. Miller led the Bears with eight receptions for 78 yards and two touchdowns. Wide receiver Alshon Jeffery’s night wasn’t as productive as his first two games of the season, but he did manage to snag five balls for 70 yards. Kevin White continued to improve, and finished with six catches for 62 yards, which included an amazing one-handed catch over a Cowboys defender. Cameron Meredith coughed up a crucial fumble in the third quarter after the offense cut the Cowboys’ lead to 14, and the defense followed that up with a rare three-and-out.
