The Dallas Cowboys secured their second consecutive win, defeating the Green Bay Packers 17-10 at Lambeau Field. With the victory, the Cowboys improve to 3-4 and set their sights on next week’s showdown against the 3-4 Los Angeles Rams.
Rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders continued to impress, going 22-of-31 for 270 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Sanders showed composure throughout, finishing with a 94.8 passer rating, despite being sacked twice. His performance was bolstered by a few timely scrambles, as he added 14 rushing yards on six carries.
“We’re starting to find our rhythm,” Sanders said postgame. “It’s not perfect, but we’re learning and growing every game. We’ve got to keep stacking wins.”
The passing game was led by Jalen Moreno-Cropper, who caught seven passes for 100 yards and a touchdown, including a crucial 27-yard catch that kept a key drive alive. CeeDee Lamb was also effective, recording five catches for 87 yards, with a long of 29 yards.
“Our chemistry is building every week,” Moreno-Cropper said. “It’s a different guy stepping up every game, and that’s what makes us dangerous.”
The Cowboys’ ground attack, though not explosive, provided balance. Deuce Vaughn led the backfield with 20 carries for 48 yards, grinding out tough yards when needed. Veteran running back Ezekiel Elliott made the most of his limited touches, scoring a one-yard rushing touchdown to secure the lead in the fourth quarter.
The Dallas defense was lights out, holding the Packers to just 198 total yards and forcing three critical turnovers. Micah Parsons led the charge with five tackles and one sack, while Damone Clark paced the unit with six total tackles.
The Cowboys also shut down the Packers on third down, limiting them to just 3-of-9 conversions. Parsons’ interception in the second quarter halted a promising Green Bay drive and swung momentum in favor of Dallas.
“This defense plays with heart,” Parsons said. “We know what’s at stake, and we’re hungry. If we want to stay in this thing, we have to keep dominating.”
With their record now at 3-4, the Cowboys head to Los Angeles next week to face another 3-4 team, the Rams. The Cowboys know that maintaining their current momentum will be key to turning their season around.
“Two wins are nice, but we’re far from where we want to be,” Lamb added. “We’ve got to be better—no excuses. This is just the beginning of what we can do if we stay locked in.”
This win gives Dallas the confidence it desperately needed after a rocky start to the season. With Sanders settling in at quarterback and the defense playing lights-out football, the Cowboys are starting to look like a team on the rise. The Rams will pose another tough challenge, but the Cowboys appear ready for it.
“It’s time to lock in, no more talk—just action,” Lamb emphasized. “We control our destiny now.”
