How the Cowboys and Packers got here
Green Bay lost 39-22 at Minnesota in Week 1, beat the Jets 20-17 in overtime, lost 35-14 at home to Atlanta, then won 17-14 at Tampa Bay and 31-7 over Chicago, a game in which the defense forced five takeaways. Dallas lost 28-20 at the Giants, beat Washington 37-20, lost 34-31 to Baltimore in Rio on a 56-yard field goal at the gun, won 34-30 at Houston and lost 24-16 at home to Tampa Bay on Thursday night of Week 5.
| Week | Cowboys | Packers |

| 1 | L 20-28 at Giants | L 22-39 at Vikings |
| 2 | W 37-20 vs Commanders | W 20-17 OT at Jets |

| 4 | W 34-30 at Texans | W 17-14 at Buccaneers |
| 5 | L 16-24 vs Buccaneers | W 31-7 vs Bears |

Dak Prescott threw for 335 yards at Houston and 316 against Tampa Bay, with CeeDee Lamb catching 17 passes for 189 yards in Week 4. Green Bay scores fewer, 20.8 points a game, and is playing without running back Josh Jacobs, who has been on the Commissioner's Exempt List since August 30.
