Packers dominate Cowboys in early first half on Sunday Night Football
Green Bay built a 17-0 lead over Dallas with touchdowns, a field goal and two interceptions, while the Cowboys struggled defensively.
The Green Bay Packers took control of the Sunday Night Football matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, leading 17-0 early in the second quarter. Quarterback Jordan Love scored on a quarterback sneak after a turnover and a pass-interference call set up the drive. Wide receiver Matthew Golden caught a touchdown pass earlier in the game, though he also dropped two potential scores.
Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott threw two interceptions, one to rookie defensive back Brandon Cisse and another to safety Evan Williams, as the Cowboys' defense, ranked near the bottom of the league in several categories, failed to contain Green Bay's passing attack.
The Packers added a field goal after a fourth-and-goal situation, extending the lead to two scores. Tight end Tucker Kraft left the field briefly after a hit and returned to the sideline for evaluation. The Cowboys' wide receiver/kick returner KaVontae Turpin was listed as questionable with a rib injury, and the team started Brevyn Spann-Ford at tight end over Jake Ferguson.
Green Bay's recent offensive surge, highlighted by a 41-point performance against the Chicago Bears, continued as the Packers converted multiple third downs and capitalized on defensive mistakes by Dallas.
