Packers’ defense dominates Cowboys in 23-13 victory
Another two turnovers and a big pass rush presence limited Dallas’ high-powered offense on Sunday night.
The Dallas Cowboys faced the Green Bay Packers in a game at Lambeau Field, where the Packers' defense shined. Led by Jonathan Gannon, the Packers' defense forced turnovers on nine drives, resulting in a 23-13 victory over the Cowboys. Evan Williams and rookie Brandon Cisse each picked off quarterback Dak Prescott, while Jordan Love had a solid performance despite an early interception that was nullified on review.
The Packers' offense converted their first seven third-down opportunities and finished 11-of-18 for the game. Love threw for 276 yards but missed three potential touchdowns, with Matthew Golden dropping two of them. Love scored the game's other touchdown on a quarterback sneak just before halftime. Green Bay's defense continued its excellent play in the second half, forcing turnovers on downs twice and allowing only one touchdown in garbage time.
The Packers' defense has now held opponents to 14 points or fewer for three consecutive games, a first since 2016.
