The Dallas Cowboys are hoping to leave their December struggles in the past by getting a big win over the Chicago Bears to kickstart the final month of the season, and they are off to an excellent start on Monday Night Football.

Thanks to a poor effort from the Bears defensive unit on the opening drive, Dallas was able to drive right down the field.

Running back DeMarco Murray was the workhorse for the team on the drive, but key catches from Cole Beasley and Dez Bryant allowed Dallas to hop out to an early 7-0 lead.

If Dallas wins, they will retake the lead in the NFC East, while the Lions need a win to top the AFC North. It won’t be easy unless the Bears defense remains invisible evening, so let’s enjoy a crucial game that will affect the NFC Playoff picture.
