Packers vs. Cowboys: How to Watch, Stream, Listen, Bet
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys are two teams headed in opposite directions. Green Bay is 3-6 after losing for the fifth consecutive week against Detroit. Dallas is 6-2 and coming off its bye.
With the season going nowhere fast, the first note in the Packers’ weekly Dope Sheet preview mentions the return of Mike McCarthy, who coached the team from 2006 through 2018.
“I just think like anything, obviously, we’re only coming up on the halfway point in the season, so there’s ebbs and flows to the game, to a season,” McCarthy, in his third season with the Cowboys, said in a conference call of the Packers’ struggles. “So, that’s why you just continue to work on getting better and so forth. Injuries are always a part of this game and they’re a challenge, and they’re a huge challenge to try to overcome and try to work out.”
