The Green Bay Packers just keep getting those picks. The Packers already picked off Dak Prescott once on Sunday Night Football, and they added to their tally near the end of the first half.
Rookie cornerback Brandon Cisse got the first interception of his career, with the help of an embarrassing slip from Cowboys star CeeDee Lamb.

Lamb slipped as he was cutting inside, which allowed a clear path for Cisse to catch Prescott’s pass.
Unlike their first interception, which only resulted in a field goal, the Packers fully took advantage of the turnover as they scored a touchdown with under a minute left to take a 17-0 lead at halftime. They took just 87 seconds to execute a nine-play, 77-yard drive, which resulted in a Jordan Love one-yard touchdown run.
The Packers pass defense continues to be lights-out to start the season. They came into Week 6 among the league leaders with seven interceptions. And now, they have pulled ahead with the two they’ve gotten against Prescott and the Cowboys.
With the combination of a turnover-causing defense and a prolific passing attack led by Jordan Love, the Packers suddenly have the makings of a legitimate contender in the NFC. They have a budding young receiver combo of Christian Watson and Matthew Golden that is breaking out this season, as well as All-Pro running back Josh Jacobs set to return from his absence in Week 7. There’s also the looming return of star pass rusher Micah Parsons later in the year, which could strengthen that defense even further.
