ARLINGTON, Texas, Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Jay Cutler found the end zone three times with touchdown passes Sunday and the Chicago Bears upended Dallas 27-20 in the Cowboys' home opener.

Cutler connected with Devin Hester, Greg Olsen and Matt Forte for scores, amassing 277 yards on 21-of-29 passing for the Bears, who have posted their first 2-0 start since 2006, when they advanced to the Super Bowl.

Dallas quarterback Tony Romo had a fine day statistically, completing 34-of-51 passes for 374 yards with one touchdown, but he was plagued by Chicago cornerback D.J. Moore, who picked him off twice.

Miles Austin hauled down 10 catches for 142 yards for the Cowboys, who are off to their first 0-2 start since 2002.
