Packers, Rodgers vow to improve after tough day for offense

“I’m surprised that we’re playing as well as we’ve played”, owner Jerry Jones said after a 30-16 win over the Packers, just the second ever for Dallas in Green Bay.

This football shrine in northeast Wisconsin is a sanctuary for Green Bay Packers fans. Dallas is getting efficient play at quarterback and dominating the running game, which is helping an opportunistic defense.

Posting 247 yards and three touchdowns, the 23-year old passer still completed 66.7% of his throws.

“What we’re gonna do is wait [until] the next card’s played”, Jones said, according to CBS Sports. This marks the 4th straight game that Elliot has been able to rush for 130 or more yards, which is an National Football League rookie record. The four turnovers were a season high for Green Bay (3-2). However, Tony Romo seems to be back to good health and the Cowboys have to decide whether they want to stick with Dak Prescott, who got the Cowboys to this point, or risk shaking up the chemistry by putting Romo back in.

The Dallas Cowboys are on an impressive five-game winning streak and sit atop the NFC East division with a 5-1 record. The best thing you can say about the Packers’ defense of Elliott was that at least they didn’t let him in the end zone, which is like pointing out that the foundation of your house didn’t burn when everything else did.

“This is his team”.

Top quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, Sam Shields, is still out with a concussion.

Four turnovers ultimately doomed the Packers. Rodgers threw an interception to Barry Church and fumbled the ball once, making the Dak Prescott mistakes look a little less damaging.

“We can’t make excuses”, Hyde said.

One of the first things learned this week is that we’re still in the grey area, unsure how to handle the quarterback situation going forward.

And even though coach Mike McCarthy has tried to push the offense toward a more effective running game to better control the time of possession, it hasn’t happened yet. “They’ve got to find some answers or the season is going to slip away in a hurry”, said Journal Sentinel beat writer Rob Reischel, who covers the Packers, and also co-wrote Wayne Larrivee’s new book, “If These Walls Could Talk.” Understandable, as that wasn’t the first time Peppers has forced a crucial fumble against the Cowboys.

The offensive line has been a bright spot for the Packers in the first five games with everyone in the starting five having played in each game so far this season.

Lions 31, Rams 28: In Detroit, Matt Prater made a tiebreaking, 34-yard field goal with 1:29 left and Rafael Bush made a victory-sealing interception two plays later.

Defensively, Morgan Burnett led with 10 tackles and he also came up with an interception on a Prescott pass intended for Jason Witten.

But instead of Romo and 2014 NFL rushing champion DeMarco Murray, it’s a pair of rookies in Prescott and league rushing leader Ezekiel Elliott. The longtime starter left the game late Sunday with a back injury.

The good news for the Cowboys is that they don’t have to make a decision right this second.

That score and Dak’s composure gave the Cowboys a 17-6 led going into halftime. Green Bay had a first and goal at the one-yard line, and a touchdown would have closed the gap to seven points.
