Cowboys take down Rodgers and the Packers

Green Bay, WI — The Dallas Cowboys took care of the Green Bay Packers with a 28-21 victory. The win for the Cowboys gives them a perfect 4-0 record in the first month of the new campaign. The Packers’ loss is their third of the season as they drop to a record of 1-3. This is the first time since Season 17 that the Packers have had a losing record through the first four games of the season.

Despite throwing two interceptions, Dak Prescott had a good game for the Cowboys. Prescott threw two touchdowns, had 152 yards passing, and finished the game with a QB rating of 95.8. “It was good to get a win against a great team, their record might not be what it normally is at this point of the season, but the Packers are still a solid team. This was a game we had circled on the calendar for sure, especially after the last time we played them. We wanted to put that crazy loss behind us with a win and we did just that tonight.” said Prescott in his post-game interview.

Rookie wide receiver Tanner Cunningham had an outstanding game and was the game’s MVP. Cunningham had four receptions for 136 yards and two touchdowns, including a 51-yard touchdown. Cunningham leads all rookie receivers with a total of 242 yards and four touchdowns this season. Cowboys coach Andres Perez was asked about his rookie wide receiver following the game – “I like what Tanner is doing, he is stepping up, which isn’t always easy to do for new players. It’s a good example for other new guys like [Eddie] Diaz, [Alonzo] Harris, and [Jordan] Thomas to see that the team gives everyone a chance here to have success.”

Beginning of the end?

With the Packers at 1-3, Aaron Rodgers‘ time with the Packers could be coming to an end.

Rodgers had another rough game in this one. Rodgers threw 4 interceptions, the second time in three games, and had a career-worst eight interceptions through the first four games of the season. “Not sure what to tell you guys,” said Rodgers “All I can say is I have to be better going forward, I made some key mistakes at times and that just can’t happen. I’ll go look at the tape tonight and see where I need to clean up my game to get us back on track.”

If this downward trend continues the Packers could be starting their newly acquired quarterback Brandon Watters.

Up next

The Cowboys will head back out on the road to take on the Atlanta Falcons. Meanwhile, the Packers will take on another NFC East team next week as they hit the road to take on the New York Giants.
