Dak Prescott and Cowboys offense a surprising no-show as Packers get emphatic win

The Green Bay Packers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 23-13 on Sunday night at Lambeau Field. The victory improved the Packers' season record to 4-2, while the Cowboys dropped to 2-4.

Green Bay established a commanding 17-0 lead by halftime, controlling the ball and the clock to limit Dallas to just one scoring drive until late in the fourth quarter.

Quarterback Dak Prescott struggled against the Packers' defense, throwing two interceptions. He completed 34 of 54 passes for 258 yards and one touchdown, while being hit seven times and sacked once.

The Cowboys' rushing attack was ineffective, producing just 48 yards on 15 carries for an average of 3.2 yards per rush. Despite these difficulties, Dallas converted a fourth-and-2 pass to CeeDee Lamb to keep their final drive alive.

Jordan Love led the Packers' offense with 276 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Matthew Golden was the team's top receiver, leading Green Bay with six catches for 104 yards and a touchdown.

Christian Watson added 64 yards on three receptions. The Packers' ground game was limited to 57 rushing yards, but their passing attack was efficient enough to maintain the lead.

Tucker Kraft returned to the game after suffering an apparent leg injury late in the second quarter.

The Packers' defense forced turnovers and limited the Cowboys' offensive production, contributing to the decisive margin of victory. Green Bay went 11 of 18 on third down, including seven straight conversions to start the game.

KaVontae Turpin exited the game early with a rib injury and was ruled out for the Cowboys, while Packers rookie Brandon Cisse left with an apparent arm injury after making a tackle on George Pickens.

Trey Smack connected on three field goals of 25, 44, and 29 yards for the Packers. The Cowboys scored just 13 points in the contest, struggling to overcome the defensive pressure and their own offensive inconsistencies.

The result marks Green Bay's third consecutive win and the Cowboys' second consecutive loss.
