The Packers have stabilized their offensive front, and their defense is taking significant strides. Now the team is on a bona fide winning streak.
Green Bay controlled the ball and the clock on Sunday night, defeating Dallas, 23-13.
The game didn’t feel as close as the final score, as Green Bay took a 17-0 lead into halftime and allowed just one Dallas scoring drive until late in the fourth quarter.
While a second-half possession got aided by penalty and moved the Cowboys all the way down to the Green Bay 14, eventually the Packers still managed to get a turnover on downs when Dak Prescott’s pass went high and incomplete out of the end zone.
Prescott ended up throwing 54 times, finishing the night with 258 yards on 34 completions. He a touchdown and two interceptions, both of which led to points in the first half — a field goal and a 1-yard touchdown run by Jordan Love at the end of the second quarter. He would’ve had at least one more had it not been negated by a roughing the passer penalty.
Prescott was under siege throughout much of the night, as he was officially hit seven times. The Packers registered one sack.
On the other side, Love was 23-of-41 for 276 yards with a touchdown and an interception. While the Packers’ run game didn’t get going, Matthew Golden led the team with six catches for 104 yards with a TD. Christian Watson also had 64 yards on three receptions.
Trey Smack connected on three field goals of 25, 44, and 29 yards.
With the win, the Packers are now 4-2 and have won each of their last three games. They will be in Detroit for a big divisional matchup against the Lions next week.
The 2-4 Cowboys will again be on the road next week to face the fellow 2-4 Eagles on Monday night.
