Dallas finally got on the board with a Javonte Williams 1-yard touchdown, but let’s be real, trailing the Green Bay Packers 17-7 still feels like a mountain for the Cowboys right now. They needed a stop and a score, and while they got the latter, the deficit still looms large.
Packers Stumble, Cowboys Capitalize
The second half started with the Packers getting the kickoff, but their drive absolutely fell apart right out of the gate. An offensive holding penalty on the very first play basically nuked any momentum they had, leading to a quick three-and-out. That’s the kind of gift a team down by a bunch needs, and Dallas took advantage.
A Crucial Fourth Down and a Needed Score
The Cowboys then put together a solid seven-play, 46-yard drive to finally hit paydirt. It wasn’t always easy, either. They had to convert a huge fourth-and-2 with a clutch pass to CeeDee Lamb just to keep the chains moving. That’s the kind of gutsy call you love to see, and it paid off with Williams punching it in from a yard out. Still, seeing that 17-7 on the scoreboard has to sting.
Kraft Back in the Mix
On a bit of a brighter note for Green Bay, tight end Tucker Kraft is back in the game. He’d been dealing with an apparent leg injury late in the second quarter, so getting him back out there is a good sign for the Packers as they try to maintain this lead.
The score is 17-7, Green Bay’s still up, and Dallas has a whole lot of work to do. They got their touchdown, but the question now is: can they actually close this gap?
