1: Rushing touchdowns for Dallas rookie RB Ezekiel Elliott in each of his team's first two games.

2: Pass plays of 40 yards for the Bears offense this season; the team's defense has allowed zero plays of that length in 2016.

4.46: Yards per play gained against the Chicago defense this season, third-fewest in the NFL, trailing only Denver (4.37) and Seattle (4.44).

23:48: Average time of possession through two games for the Bears' offense, the lowest in the NFL.

30.5: Average points scored by the Bears in two previous games at Cowboys Stadium/ AT&T Stadium, where Sunday's game will be held. Chicago won both contests.
