Cowboys Set to Take on the Packers in Week 6
Dallas sits at 2-3 and comes off a loss to the previously winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Cowboys made subtle changes, including adding Mike Pettine to the defensive coaching staff to support defensive coordinator Christian Parker.
It’s near-desperation time for the Cowboys as they try to pick up a much-needed win against a team with strong momentum. Green Bay has won two straight games and is 3-2.
The Cowboys are working to get their defense back on track after a rough start to the season. They have allowed at least 375 yards in each of their first five games. That’s the longest streak in franchise history and tied for the eighth-longest in NFL history.
As for the offense, the rushing attack has been a problem, with the team in the bottom 10 in rushing yards per game. Dak Prescott and the Cowboys’ passing attack have had to carry the lead for the team.
This is a defining moment for the Cowboys as they try to get the season back on track and avoid finishing like the 2025 season. The good news is that the NFC East is in bad shape, which could give them the opening they need. The best way to avoid that, though, is for the Cowboys to take care of business against Green Bay first.
