For the second week in a row, the Bears’ secondary was outclassed by a rookie quarterback. Dak Prescott picked apart Chicago’s defense by completing 19 of 24 passes for 248 yards and a touchdown. Even against the run, the Bears’ defensive backs looked silly at moments, especially when safety Chris Prosinski whiffed on a tackle and was posterized when Elliott hurdled him. I guess the silver lining for the Bears’ secondary was Jacoby Glenn’s forced fumble on Dallas’ first drive of second half, which was recovered by Adrian Amos; this resulted Chicago scoring a touchdown on the ensuing drive.
