ESPN Monday Night Football Schedule: TV Start Time and Channel For Dallas Cowboys vs. Chicago Bears MNF Game

The Chicago Bears and the Dallas Cowboys are meeting on Monday night football in Week 14 and the last game of the schedule on ESPN starts up at 8:30 pm and the MNF game is huge for both teams after Sunday's results and the matchup will be streaming online from the WatchESPN website from Soldier Field for the game.

The Bears come into the matchup after a tough loss against the Minnesota Vikings and that makes this game a must-win if Chicago wants to stay in the playoff and division race. The division standings in the north still has the Detroit Lions at the top, but after they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles and the Green Bay Packers got past the Atlanta Falcons, it's now on Chicago to try and stay in it and they will get along without Jay Cutler once again and while Josh McCown had over 350 yards last week, it wasn't good enough to get things done. Alshon Jeffery set a record with 249 receiving yards in the loss last week and with Brandon Marshall coming back to practice strong, the Cowboys defense will have plenty to worry about from the Bears.

Jeffery and Marshall have been the best duo in the NFL this season at the wide receiver position and with the Cowboys giving up a ton of yards in the air this season, that will be the main focus for both sides as they get into the matchup on Monday night. The Bears are ranked fifth in the league in passing yards per game and they have had issues on defense about giving up yards and Dallas will try and exploit that as well.

The Bears have a solid schedule to finish the season and after playing against the Cowboys on Monday on ESPN, the team has two away games before returning home to play the Packers in the final game of the season and that could have huge implications. Depending on how the next few weeks shake out, the Bears and Packers could be playing for a playoff spot in that matchup to end the season in Week 17 and comes after the Bears won at Green Bay a few weeks ago.

The Cowboys come into the game after winning over the Raiders and they now have won two in a row since their bye week and three of four overall and after playing against the Bears they have a tough matchup with the Packers. The Cowboys have been much more consistent this season than in the past, but they are ranked last in the league in passing yards per game and they will need to watch out hard for the Bears on offense on Monday. Matt Forte has been having a great season and he will get into the mix as well. The game starts up on ESPN at 8:30 pm from Soldier Field.
