Pollard received 14 of the 29 run plays Dallas ran against the Bears as Ezekiel Elliott was sidelined with an MCL injury. He rushed for 131 yards and scored three touchdowns in the win. It was the best game of his career and the fifth time he’s rushed for more than 100 yards. He rushed for 131 yards against the Los Angeles Rams on Dec. 15, 2019, but only had one touchdown on the ground.

On the opposite side of the ball, Parsons came up huge for Dallas. He recovered a Justin Fields fumble and returned it to the house for the first touchdown of his career. He had four total tackles in the game as the Cowboys got to Fields four times. Jayron Kearse and DeMarcus Lawrence were among those with sacks.
