The Green Bay Packers (2–1) visit the Dallas Cowboys (1–2) tonight in a Week 4 Sunday Night Football game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
This matchup features the return of Micah Parsons to Dallas, who was traded from the Cowboys to the Packers before the season and has supercharged Green Bay into one of the more formidable defenses in the league.
Through three weeks, the Packers are allowing just 14.7 points per game, the fewest in the NFL. They also rank third overall in total defense at 232.3 yards per game, holding opponents to under 170 passing yards on average and limiting big plays downfield.
Parsons has fit seamlessly into that unit, recording 1.5 sacks and six quarterback hits, while the Packers’ front has generated consistent pressure that’s helped a secondary currently top-five in passing yards allowed.
Dallas, meanwhile, has gone the other way since the trade. The Cowboys’ defense has surrendered 92 points through three games — 30.7 per game — and nearly 400 total yards per outing (397.7). Opponents are averaging 288 passing yards per game against them, one of the highest marks in the league. Without Parsons anchoring their pass rush, quarterbacks have enjoyed more time in the pocket, exposing coverage breakdowns and leaving Dallas scrambling to keep pace.
On offense, Jordan Love has thrown for 663 yards, 5 touchdowns, and 1 interception through three games, carrying a passer rating over 110 and providing Green Bay with steady production.
The Cowboys, meanwhile, have leaned on Dak Prescott’s 800 passing yards, 3 touchdowns, though Dallas has struggled to protect him consistently behind a weakened offensive line — and he has thrown for three interceptions.
Tonight’s game may ultimately come down to whether Green Bay’s defense can keep dictating the pace or if Prescott can carry Dallas past its flaws.
Things to Watch
Parsons’ return to AT&T Stadium
Parsons faces his former teammates under bright lights tonight. His pass-rush presence will be central in testing Dallas’ protection and altering their offensive tempo.
Cowboys dealing with injuries at WR & O-line
Dallas will be without CeeDee Lamb (high ankle sprain), and guard Tyler Booker is also out. Their offensive line is already thin, and these losses make it more vulnerable to pressure.
Packers’ offensive line instability
Green Bay’s line continues to struggle with injuries. Zach Tom is out, and Aaron Banks is doubtful, leaving backups and new callups in key spots. The Packers recently called up center Lecitus Smith to bolster depth.
Dallas’ defense without Parsons
Losing Parsons significantly changes Dallas’ pass-rush profile. Their defense will need others to step up, especially against Jordan Love, who now faces more space and time.
Predictions
Green Bay holds the edge. Their defense, now with Parsons, is a formidable force and should pressure Prescott heavily. Dallas is hampered by injuries at receiver and the line, making the offense less dynamic. If the Packers’ offensive line can survive and Dallas can’t generate early rhythm, Green Bay should pull away late.
Projected Final Score: Packers 30, Cowboys 20
