Quick Take: Cowboys (2-0) vs. Bears (1-1)

Last meeting
Dallas running back Julius Jones ran for 150 yards and two touchdowns as the Cowboys defeated the Bears, 21-7, on Thanksgiving three years ago.

Streaks
Dallas has won two of the past three meetings to extend its series lead over Chicago to 10-8.

Last week
The Cowboys took control in the second half, routing the host Dolphins, 37-20. Quarterback Tony Romo had his second straight sensational game with two touchdown passes and 36 yards rushing. The Bears rebounded from an abymsal Week 1 loss in San Diego to defeat the visiting Chiefs, 20-10.

At stake
Dallas can improve to 3-0 and show it is ready to compete with the best in the NFC after defeating a pair of teams that are currently 0-2. For Chicago, this game offers Rex Grossman an opportunity to put his recent struggles behind him and show that he can lead the Bears past a quality opponent.

Key matchup
Bears return man Devin Hester showed Kansas City last week why he is the best return man in the NFL after taking one punt back for a touchdown and delivering several more scintilating returns. The Cowboys' special teams, which has played well through the first two games, can't afford to give up field position and/or touchdowns to Hester in a game that figures to be close.

DALLAS: CB Terence Newman (foot), LB Greg Ellis (achilles'), WR Terry Glenn (knee). CHICAGO: P Brad Maynard (groin), TE Greg Olsen (knee)
