Dallas Cowboys Suffer 31-14 Loss to Bears, Key Players Injured

The Dallas Cowboys started the 2025 NFL season with a disappointing 1-2 record, highlighted by a 31-14 loss to the Chicago Bears. Despite moving the ball effectively, the Cowboys' offense struggled with turnovers, including three interceptions and a fumble, which squandered scoring opportunities and led to a red-zone performance that was described as a "horror show." Key injuries compounded their woes, with All-Pro receiver CeeDee Lamb suffering a high ankle sprain that could sideline him for 10-14 days, and rookie right guard Tyler Booker also out for 4-6 weeks due to a similar injury, weakening the offensive line. Defensively, the team missed Micah Parsons, whose departure to the Green Bay Packers has left a significant gap, as evidenced by the Bears' quarterback Caleb Williams throwing for 298 yards and four touchdowns. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was visibly frustrated during the game, especially after key turnovers by quarterback Dak Prescott, who openly criticized the offense's subpar performance. The Cowboys face further challenges ahead, including a Sunday Night Football game against the Packers, with Parsons returning to Dallas, intensifying the spotlight on the struggling team.
