Packers vs. Cowboys: 5 things to know about Green Bay's Week 6 opponent

The Green Bay Packers will host the Dallas Cowboys in a primetime matchup at Lambeau Field in Week 6, according to the wire report. The Cowboys have faced struggles on defense throughout their first five games, recording a 2-3 record, with two losses coming to the New York Giants and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite this, their offensive unit remains talented and will be the better-rested team for the upcoming Sunday Night Football game.

Last week, the Cowboys suffered a surprising home defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, falling 24-16 on Thursday Night Football. The Buccaneers' star running back Bucky Irving rushed for 165 yards, including a crucial 72-yard run in the second half. Quarterback CeeDee Lamb suffered a quad injury and left the game, while Dak Prescott made two interceptions, including a game-clinching pick with Dallas trailing by eight points.

The Cowboys have made roster adjustments to strengthen their defense, bringing in edge rusher Rashan Gary, linebacker Dee Winters, and cornerback Joey Porter Jr. via trades. They drafted defensive back Caleb Downs and edge rusher Malachi Lawerence in the first round, and third-round pick Jaishawn Barham and fourth-round pick LT Overton have contributed to their defensive corps.

Quarterback Dak Prescott, a veteran of eleven seasons, is known for his accuracy and consistency, with a passer rating of 97.2 through five matches. However, the Packers defense will need to be cautious against star wide receiver George Pickens, who has made a name for himself as a downfield threat and contestable receiver.
