When the two biggest teams of NFC went head-to-head for a spot in the championship game, expect each Cowboys vs Packers game review to be out elsewhere with a blast. No wonder, many football enthusiasts have become so hooked with this duo as the men courageously go out of their way to bring home the bacon.
The Dallas Cowboys – led by Dak Prescott, Dez Bryant, and Ezekiel Elliott – traveled to Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Sunday, October 16, 2016 to play against Aaron Rodgers, Eddie Lacy, Clay Matthews, and the rest of the Green Bay Packers.
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett once said that “The coaches I hate in my life were the guys who allowed me to be as mediocre as mediocre can be. The guys I love to this very day -- they rode my ass every day. They grinded me. It was hard. They made me better.” And everybody will perhaps agree that Garrett has certainly able to adopt the leadership skills and management style of his most looked up coaches.
Taking it from their head coach’s philosophies, the Cowboys has set such standard that it takes absolutely no talent to hustle or compete, it’s the team’s commitment and skills. With that in mind, rookie Dak Prescott threw for 247 yards and three touchdowns on 18 of 27 passes while each player forced four turnovers. All these efforts paid off in a 30-16 victory over the Green Bay Packers and their dysfunctional offense during this huge matchup.
Cowboys vs. Packers Game Highlights
Stunning the Packers fans, Prescott exhibited poise in the fourth quarter while marching the Cowboys on a seven-play, leading the team (5-1) to their fifth straight triumph. The Green Bay Packers, on the other hand, dropped to 2-3.
More so, Ezekiel Elliott who once again slashed an opposing defense by running for 157 yards on 28 carries, having at least 134 yards in four consecutive games, the Dallas totaled 191 on 33 carries behind a superior offensive line.
Needless to say, the Packers also showed their intense might and desire to win, having Aaron Rodgers to complete 31 of 42 passes for 294 yards with a touchdown pass to Randall Cobb and an interception.
However, it’s really like there should only be one team to rule the game. And for this football match up, the Cowboys nailed it.
And as the Packers defensive tackle Mike Daniels said “When you're playing against a good team like that, you can't give them an inch [or] they'll take it a mile. And as you saw, that's what happened to this game.” Well-said, dude.
Undeniably, Dallas has bumped Green Bay's league-best run defense.
