GAME OF THE DAY
COWBOYS-BEARS
WHEN: 8:15 p.m.
WHERE: Soldier Field, Chicago
TV/CREW: WFLA, Channel 8 (Al Michaels, John Madden, Andrea Kremer)
ABOUT THE COWBOYS: Dallas has scored 82 points through two games, its best offensive start since the 1971 championship season, and Tony Romo boasts an outrageous QB rating of 119.3. The defense forced five interceptions at Miami last week and new coach Wade Phillips has revitalized a 3-4 alignment keyed by OLB DeMarcus Ware.
ABOUT THE BEARS: Chicago is still relying on rugged defense and incomparable return specialist Devin Hester. The running game looked better in Week 2 as Cedric Benson gained 101 yards against the Chiefs, but QB Rex Grossman continues to struggle.
KEY STAT: In four career meetings against the Bears, Terrell Owens has 41 catches for 565 yards.
KEY MATCHUP: Cowboys C Andre Gurode vs. Bears DT Tommie Harris, coming off a two-sack effort.
IRA KAUFMAN'S CALL: Bears, 23-17
