Rodgers leads Packer to 24-14 over Cowboys

1st Quarter
The Packers focus on the run seemed to be misplaced as the Cowboys threw 5 consecutives times on their first possession.
After a quick turnover due to a sack on Aaron Rodgers for a big loss, Dallas drove the ball down the pitch with Green Bay unable to stop them.
Things continued to get worse for the Packers when Jimmy Graham went off injured on the first play of the next drive.

2nd Quarter
Packers defense started to show up and began stopping Dallas.
Pass heavy Rodgers moved the ball from his own 22 to put 6 points on the board finding Cameron Meredith to pull level.
They then took the lead on next possession with a 80 yard gain on a TD throw to Davante Adams.
Before the half was out Green Bay suffered another injury at the TE position as Robert Tonyan had to leave the pitch.

3rd Quarter
Penalties cost Dallas them their only significant drive of the second half.

4th Quarter
Running the ball, Green Bay moved the ball up the field and Rodgers found Geronimo Allison from the 12 for his 3rd of the game.
Further penalties and an interception by Josh Jackson restrict Dallas scoring chances.
Packers extend their lead with a FG.
A big return gives Dallas an opportunity they take as Dak-Cooper for a TD.
Trying to force it Dak goes big and again Josh Jackson there to intercept.

Post-Game Review

Injuries
With 3 TE's potentially out the Packers will move rookie Jace Sternberger from the practice squad to active.
The team hope Robert Tonyan will return for practice but Jimmy Graham is out with bulging disc (back) for 2-4 weeks.
There is also now talk of Marcedes Lewis when healthy being traded.
