Cowboys fall 23-13 to Packers, extend 0-2 start

The Dallas Cowboys fell 23-13 to the Green Bay Packers Sunday night at Lambeau Field, extending their season‑opening skid to 0-2.

The loss spotlights lingering offensive woes for a team that entered the season boasting a high‑powered attack. Dallas managed only one touchdown, a 6‑yard pass from Dak Prescott to Ryan Flournoy with 44 seconds left, and failed on a two‑point conversion. Prescott was intercepted twice, first by Evan Williams and then by rookie cornerback Brandon Cisse, erasing potential scoring chances.

Packers quarterback Jordan Love threw for 276 yards, completing 23 of 41 attempts and delivering a 9‑yard touchdown to Matthew Golden, who finished with six catches for 104 yards. Love added a 1‑yard quarterback keeper late in the first half to push the lead to double digits.

The contest was marred by discipline, featuring 22 penalties – 11 per side – for a combined 204 penalty yards (Dallas 108, Green Bay 96). Despite the setbacks, Dallas’s defense showed improvement, holding Green Bay to a 31.4% success rate and forcing two turnovers.

Postgame, Prescott expressed frustration, saying, "The defense, to me, played a good enough game for us to win this, and we just didn’t hold our own on offense, and that’s what ultimately sucks about it." He also bluntly described the overall experience as “the game sucks.” Injuries further complicated Dallas’s night, as wide receiver KaVontae Turpin left with a rib injury and safety Dee Winters hurt his ankle.

Green Bay, now 4-2, celebrated a three‑game winning streak, while the Cowboys (0-2) must regroup quickly. The next challenge arrives on Oct. 26 when Dallas travels to Philadelphia for a Monday Night Football showdown against the Eagles.
