After the Dallas Cowboys jettisoned superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, every game on their schedule this season has become magnified.
They simply don't have the margin of error on defense that Parsons used to give them, and it has resulted in a situation where everyone has had to pick up the slack in an all-hands-on-deck situation.
They will face the Chicago Bears this Sunday, and the Bears, despite being 0-2, are a team the 1-1 Cowboys cannot take lightly. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams still has lots of natural talent, and he still has two definite offensive weapons in wide receivers D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze.
