Jordan Love touchdown pass gives Packers 7-0 lead over Cowboys

Dallas’ defense still looks porous to start Sunday night’s game against Green Bay.

Dallas' defense appeared vulnerable early in Sunday night's game against Green Bay. Packers quarterback Jordan Love scored a 7-0 lead with a 9-yard touchdown pass to receiver Matthew Golden. The team achieved this through a 14-play, 90-yard drive that consumed 6:30 of the clock. Although the Packers struggled on the ground, Love excelled in the air, completing 6 of 8 passes for 109 yards and scoring the touchdown.

The drive, while not heavily reliant on the ground, received two penalties from Green Bay, which reduced the yardage on a possession that was precisely 90 yards in length.

Golden, who also committed a penalty for taunting on a significant 37-yard catch, played a crucial role in the drive. Christian Watson contributed with a 27-yard reception, further advancing the chain. Green Bay executed four out of four third downs successfully. However, the Cowboys had to punt to conclude their opening possession after accumulating just one first down.

Dallas returner KaVontae Turpin is set to be questionable for the game, as he suffered a rib injury during the opening kickoff. Tyler Goodson has stepped in as the new kickoff returner.
