FRISCO, TEXAS — This Sunday night, the Dallas Cowboys host the Green Bay Packers in what promises to be a high-stakes prime-time matchup between two of the NFL’s most successful franchises. Both teams are coming off tough losses last week — Dallas fell to the Chicago Bears, while Green Bay dropped a close contest to the Cleveland Browns.
The rivalry has tilted in the Packers’ favor recently. Green Bay has won the last five meetings, including a 31-28 overtime thriller in 2022. Dallas’ last victory over Green Bay came back in 2016, making this one another opportunity for the Cowboys to flip the script.
Dak Prescott enters the game in top form. He leads the NFL in completion percentage, excels against the blitz (averaging 309 passing yards per game), and has been nearly unstoppable on play-action passes, completing 91 percent of them this season. However, Dallas will be without key offensive weapons Tyler Booker and CeeDee Lamb due to injury, putting added pressure on Prescott to carry the offense.
Defensively, the Cowboys have been solid against the run, allowing just 3.74 yards per carry — their best start through three games since 2018.
Adding intrigue to the matchup, former Cowboy Micah Parsons returns to face his old team — now wearing Packers green. His presence on defense adds a personal storyline to an already heated rivalry.
Kickoff is set for Sunday night on NBC, with both teams looking to bounce back and assert dominance under the prime-time lights.
