2013 Packers @ Cowboys

so America's game of the week good matchup for you today the Green Bay Packers taking on boys and welcome inside the broadcast booth everybody I'm Joe clock Troy Aikman right there Pam Oliver is coming up let's talk about the Dallas Cowboys they know the Philadelphia Eagles have lost today up in Minnesota so they have an opportunity in front of them despite all the frustration they've gone through the league's last ranked defense trying to win their first divisional title since 2009 the Green Bay Packers troy'd thought they might have Aaron Rodgers back for this game he's an active collarbone not ready so it's Matt Flynn what are we gonna see here today well I expect to see a lot of points here today Joe neither defense has been very good this season it's hard to imagine this not being a high-scoring affair now there is some concern on the Packers part and that Eddie Lacy comes into this game with a sprained ankle he's been the workhorse for this offense but they face a pass defense in the Cowboys that is the worst in all of football Matt Flynn's going to have to throw the football and I expect him to have success doing that for more on the Cowboys let's go down to the field and Pam Oliver well Joe wasn't all that avoid another December collapse this week head coach Jason Garrett degree weather in Chicago Garrett coats the question are we going to be that kind well Garrett stressed the Cowboys need to find their edge she's challenged them to ownership and do not spawn all right Pam thank you the Cowboys we'll start with the football Green Bay will kick it away and we'll get an early indication as to what the offensive attack will be for the Dallas Cowboys try mention two defenses that have struggled the Cowboys one thing they haven't done is turn it over it's something that Dom Capers in the Packers defense in years past [Applause] out of the end zone its Terrence Williams and - about the 19 and a half that's where the Cowboys will start we welcome it a new audience and as you will see the first play from scrimmage and you'll see the Dallas Cowboys and Tony Romo who comes in with a fest quarterback rating in the NFL you see the numbers 27 touchdowns seven interceptions he's playing some of the best football of his career but on a ballclub that told me a game over 500 first play it's Murray and thanks through this screen bank defense and picks up a first down a good start for a ground game Troy that's really picked it up over the last three games they sure have Joe there's been a real commitment to running the football and Monday night they ran it really early in that ball game against the Bears as well as you could expect in any game it called for straight running plays to open up that game went right down the field and came away with a touchdown they open up today's game with a run as well that game did not end well however for Dallas and Dez quiet is good for 9 from on Williams on the coverage for Green Bay and we look at some of the guys on this 11 man offense for the Dallas Cowboys and it's Murray Bryant and upfront they really hit with these two picks Smith had left tackle and Frederick at center to their last three first-round picks have gone on offensive lineman Tyra Smith having an outstanding year and Travis Frederick in the middle having a great rookie season when all 16 there's Bari in a first down here's a team that's had a tough time stopping the run and prior to the second half last week at home against Atlanta they had really struggled averaging 440 yards per game allowed and we look at this group we want to pick up front a linebackers in the backend they've been challenged to all the way across Mike McCarthy in his eighth season he's been in the post season five of his first seven hey need some help get there this year over the metals got the rookie and Williams down to the 33 big plays to start the day for this Dallas offense 27 yards to Terrence Williams well Green Bay commits a safety up to try to play the run the Cowboys go play action and they got Terrence Williams on a deep crossing route man-to-man coverage it's a very difficult route to cover Terrance Williams picks up a nice game Dallas offense that despite a better offensive line and weapons like Dez Bryant Jason Witten and Miles Austin and Murray comes in ranked his 22nd in the NFL Williams hung in there on the tackle again afore Oh Joe you talked about that run defense for the Green Bay Packers and yeah they've been pretty porous until last week they tighten things up a little bit against Atlanta but even with that Stephen Jackson average close to five yards of carry in that game and it's a bit surprising because through the first six games of this year the run defense was one of the real strengths of the team on second and six with a fullback in the game a nice play is made and the play was made by Josh Boyd he's a rookie out of Mississippi State a fifth round pick and he made that play loss of three that's an outstanding job by Josh Boyd in the middle and he's able to fight through the block and make a plan C that's an outstanding job with an offense that's been moving the ball on this possession to force a third and long third down and nine [Applause] broken up and the play made by Micah Hyde and the rookie was there step for step with Miles Austin who has not been much of a threat of late and I just I don't think he's himself Joe and that he's missed a lot of games this year he's had the chronic hamstring injury and normally you play Miles Austin that kind of defense one-on-one and you give him the middle of the field with all the quickness and explosiveness that he has you're not going to be able to cover him but Micah Hyde was able to it's a good job defensively gave up yards but tightened up when they had to now the 46 try Bailey's had a big year very good 20 of 22 for the season points and a blake for the Dallas offense drive stalled after some big plays three zip Cowboys on top today's game is sponsored by Southwest Airlines find our fares online only at southwest.com well the packed in hoping to see the Dallas Cowboys come away with a win Cowboys have lost only once here at home this season the meeting with the defensive backs on the sideline after the Cowboys came away with three points and this turn into a cowboy break that ball could have gone anywhere after the hop and instead of out of bounds it's in and out the end zone so Matt Flynn grew up in Tyler Texas he and his family Cowboy fans and he idolized the guy I get to stand next to every Sunday on our little trek through the NFL he's not a cowboy fan any longer but he does have family here at the game as you said Joe from Tyler Texas home of the great Earl Campbell as well and he's had a tough few weeks but last week after having the opportunity to take 10 days to prepare following that Thanksgiving loss came out against Atlanta and really had a nice performance starting at the 20 he starts it with Eddie Lacy's playing with a sprained right ankle picks up three we look at the offense an offense that for a while there late in the week looked like it might be directed by Aaron Rodgers but it's matt flynn who will do a lot of handing off to those first two guys and try and find the next two guys downfield second and seven Aaron Rodgers the collarbone not ready six weeks since that injury on second down Flint that's Jones and James Jones is across a forty heat slows him down and Jones is down inside the 40 yard line and that's how it's been Troy would Matt Flynn a lot of throws underneath and then looking for a good one after the catch soon as the safety goes to the middle of rotations that way you work opposite of that as the quarterback knowing you got a void in that defense it hit James Jones on a slant route the Packers run the slants as much as any team in football which is fine they're going to complete a high percentage of those passes but then as a defense you gotta be able to make the tackle and James Jones just does not go down and turns it into a big game then he left off Jarrett Boykin into the lineup 39 yards to James John's fled that's Wilbur a loss at one and here's James Jones after the catch and run 39 yards got pulled up Joe right before he even went to the ground you know right before he got tackled he had an awkward movement there that he has missed sometime this year because of injury but that was a nice play on the slack route second and 11 lacy mrs. own man and fix up for Ernie Sims on the stop there are injuries all over this defense that's been the case for Monte Kiffin group all year but now they've got Durant Sims and Wilbur starting a linebacker you see the two guys on the outside of that DeMarcus Ware troy has been challenged for this game been challenged by the head coach heck he's been challenged by the owner you know they don't have Shawn Lee playing today I expect the markets where to have an impact on this game after the week that he went through James Jones back in there on 3rd down and 7 Scandrick up there and a set on third and seven didn't disguise what they were doing they had everybody up he knew Orlando Scandrick was coming off the slot he's coming off here and the ball is just got to come out and Matt Flynn had a receiver to get the ball to the slot receiver was open but that planet there is something that he could get better on it's getting the ball out of his hands a little bit quicker than he's been able to here over the last few weeks and that was a good example of it that's this season this would be a 57-yard try by Crosby 58 basic plastic got and got it easily what a season he is having Mike McCarthy after it down dear last year stuck with us and Mason Crosby has rewarded that patients free three-game in Texas [Music] today's game is sponsored by Bud Light official beer sponsor of the NFL aerial coverage provided by Nationwide Insurance Crosby we'll kick it away a guy who last year had an NFL low 64% in field-goal attempts made he was challenged in camp and he has rewarded his head coach with a big year three three games second possession for the Cowboys Dallas has it we come back today's game is sponsored by the only 2014 Jeep Cherokee built free cleetus actually on location today here in Arlington Texas never looked better how about the Bears we look at the NFC North they may be in first place all alone at the end of tomorrow night depending on what happens with Detroit at home against the Ravens who were fighting now with Miami for a wild-card spot in the AFC Cutler got the start three touchdowns two picks Forte another big day tandem on the outside [Music] see her boat Beasley picks up bait talk about the Bears winning today and we're see as you said they went with Jay Cutler and Josh McCown I thought done a heck of a job when he was filling in last week's game against the Cowboys he was sensational throwing the football and really adverse conditions as you see the standings as they sit here right now before this game and then the game tomorrow night but Josh McCown was awfully good shows what a backup quarterback can do for you [Applause] stretch easy [Applause] 41 yards with a fullback in front of him you see the hole that opens up Tyler clots the fullback he picks up the linebacker there Brad Jones and a Jayhawk takes the other gap there's just nobody filling the hole I'm Tyron Smith as I said he's having an outstanding year he has clay Mathews they're in run blocking but DeMarcus Ware DeMarco Murray has been sensational since they started emphasizing running game inside the town two possessions filled with big plays meant for 22 yards and this is going to be a matchup that should focus on throughout this game Clay Matthews has got to be able to get pressure on Tony Romo a lot of man coverage on the back end and so you run the deep crossing routes we saw Terrance Williams on the first possession this time Dez Bryant and a guy was speed running away it's just very difficult then for the defensive back to keep up with him they've had two big plays off that same route inside the red zone Cowboys are the second best team in the NFL [Applause] it shields and spins his way to the pearl DeMarco Murray you know hasn't I guess overall really had all that many opportunities Joe I mean here recently they started feeding him the ball a little bit more but you know through the first three weeks of the season he had 20 carries in two of those games and hasn't had 20 carries in a game sense now he would have on Monday Monday night if they hadn't have fallen so far behind but they keep giving him the ball he's a guy who continually gets better as the game goes along [Music] second Attica [Applause] he asked about the Dallas Cowboys came into the season thinking they were going to go a lot of the two tight end heavy sets using Escobar who they spent a second round pick out of San Diego State to bring him into the fold that really hasn't worked out and so that changed up and gone with a fullback second week with Tyler flux and after a big leaf last week where he's already ripped off a couple of good runs here today third door that made the play whit was the intended target and so the Green Bay defense keeps the Cowboys out of the end zone those are the opportunities though that the Packers just have not been able to make you know when they've got an opportunity there was a time where you make a throw like that against this defense they were going to make you pay for it and Morgan Burnett has an opportunity to undercut that throw and intercept it and Tony Romo was fortunate that ball was not intercepted 23 yard try for Bailey he's already hit from 47 the cowboy is back on top 5:30 come into this game for these two defenses expecting to see a lot of points it's a 6-3 cowboy lead we saw tony romo given jason garrett the head coach and earful on his way off the field that Witten was remember it's still theoretically Bill Callahan calling the plays up in the booth through Garrett and to Tony Romo so frustrating end to that drive first it was Romo then wit to the Cowboys who lead by three [Music] second possession for the Green Bay Packers who had a big play to James Jones to get them into a position ended up with a long field goal 57 yards from Crosby the first time they had it again down by three tossed a lacy right [Music] and it's made by Jorge Silva a loss of five and before second down we go to joel clap for the game break all right Joe New Orleans trying to keep pace with Seattle for that top seed the NFC but not looking good early Kellen Clemens to Corey Harkey 31 yards seven nothing Rams then he does his best Michael Wacha hey Joe 59 days until pitchers and catchers thanks Jill we've got something in between number 69 offense five-yard penalty he'll sing it as well cold when they get Bakhtiari too by the way hark he is the son of Mike Harkey Chicago come pitcher I'm sure that was a tribute to his dad after getting the touchdown against the Saints under five to go in this opening quarter so they made the play and then a 5-yard loss on the false start second and 20 Flynn setting up a screen that ball was down it stays with the Packers for the loss of six [Applause] they get backed up like that Joe second and long you got to anticipate that the offense is going to try to run something conservative like the screen Justin Durant he sees it the entire way Evan Dietrich Smith had no opportunity to get on him and get a block and help Lacey out on that play ball popped out when the arm with the ball minute of Lacey hit the ground and now third down and 26 from the 40-yard line [Applause] fast car he's got disguise a little room for the punter mast a selfie made the stop down field a gain of 12 remember as we said no Sean Lee who at this point when healthy is the Cowboys best defensive player and the guy who's the man in the middle for this Cowboys defense they missed him last week out with a bad neck and who knows if they'll get him back before the end of the year I'm not sure he'll come back and play this year I know he initially thought he would be playing here today and highly disappointed he knows how much this defense really relies on him stay hits it a good one Beasley with a fair catch and he hauls it in at the 35 let's go down to Pam Oliver do you know about all those hamstring injuries to the Dallas Cowboys Jason Garrett told me we can't bury our heads in the sand here it's a real problem and we're going to have to do something about it the fact that ten different Dallas Cowboys have landed on the injury report this season with hamstring problems matt has posed Jared wondering what the heck is going on Garrett told me it's a real problem we'll figure it out the Dallas Cowboys do an injury survey at the end of the season and hamstrings will be looked at very closely back to you it's a survey that the Packers will be looking at as well because you remember earlier in the year they've had a number of hamstring injuries I think it's one of those things that's pretty prevalent on the league she blamed Harris who's such a big weapon returning kicks and punts he's out of the hands-free engine in Chicago on that here's Eskimo fifteen he talked about as far a little bit earlier Joe and you know him being a rookie and where he was drafted in the second round and a lot was expected of him coming into the season and I think because it hasn't gone the way that they had anticipated his development it's left them kind of wondering what exactly they are because they had anticipated being a to tight end offense a run back set and that just has not come to fruition on the catch good job by DeMarco Murray to he makes the catch and he's down to the 41 nine yards it's been one big play after another for this Dallas attack as we're at a minute and a half left in the first quarter well the Cowboys have been able to move the football and they've been able to pile some yards but you know the the Packers defensively at least when the when the Cowboys have started to move the ball down in there and score e territory they've been able to tighten up and just force two field goals but ten yards of play start against his Green Bay defense [Applause] inside the [Applause] grant Jones couldn't bring him down in a 16-yard carry for DeMarco Maury you see these big guys in the middle for the Packers you know they they hold their own for the most part they don't get pushed backwards very often these are big guys but they just don't get off blocks and then the linebackers see Brad Jones he's there to try to make the play and he fails to make the tackle but that's been the reoccurring theme of this defense as far as their run defense goes is they just have a hard time getting off blocks and then tackling has been a problem as well bad combo that's probably with jason witten was singing to Jason Garrett on the sidelines after that last possession is hey they're playing single safety and I can put a move on this guy and get up in the scene there's nobody there and he ran a great route and gave Tony Romo a heck of a lane to put the ball touchdown pass number 28 for Tony Romo career touchdown catch number 52 for and his eighth of the year it's a 25 yarder and play develop Elmo made a good throw the Cowboys already with four plays of 20 or more yards in this first quarter well Jason Witten he likes this out route you see it a lot he starts like he's going to go to the out and then he comes underneath up the seam that's just an excellent job on his part of setting up the defender and giving his quarterback a great place to put the football Jason Garrett in his third full year as head coach to the Dallas Cowboys he's had two eight and eight finishes Cowboys and in particular Tony Romo are tired of hearing about their December record Tony Romo comes in with an 11 and 16 record during the month of December after just owning the month of November in his career which really kicked off in 2006 but this season's been different I mean they've limited the mistakes he might not be as dynamic at times because he's pulled things a little tighter in but he's more willing toy to take a sack he's not forcing throws and that's why the Cowboys are tied for the fewest this season in the NFL backers down by 10 we'll start at the 20 no matter what happened today with the Philadelphia Eagles it was all out there for the Dallas Cowboys they knew coming into today if they went out they win the division for the first time since Oh 9 yeah it's all well it's out there for them and it's out there for the Philadelphia Eagles I mean even after their loss oh the division here is is gonna be pretty exciting as we go through the next couple of weeks I you know I think this game right now Joe for for the Packers what do you do if you're Dom Capers you're playing an extra defender in the box and you're not stopping the run and then you give these receivers one-on-one on the coverage and they haven't been able to cover anybody yet either Flint out of the shotgun down the satellite for Jones pass interference on Brandon car got his hand in there made contact did not get his head around and that was an easy call well they came into this ballgame saying hey we're gonna try to challenge these receivers number 27 they called 27 it was clearly 39 yeah that was Brandon Carr you saw the grab and when they brought him in from Kansas City he's best when he's in press coverage and they've kind of gotten away from them so coming into this game Brandon Carr was excited about getting back to the steam and the style of play that he's best at running brought down by Selby who's made a couple of plays out running for this cowboy defense and loss of ten yeah we saw him make the play on Eddie Lacy in the running game and then he lets a you see the wreck tackle and then Corliss there trying to make the block on of and either one of them can slow him down defense has made some plays for Dallas they've been waiting for that Selvi a couple of them ten point game back after this from your local Fox station just under 200 yards in the first quarter for the Dallas offense only 32 for Greenbay some negative plays of hurt and now it's second down in 24 Matt Flynn [Applause] it's three-man rush sterling Moore who's getting more and more playing time in on the stop loop Devante Holliday who's back after missing seven games the bad neck a pickup of just five and now third long coming up well Joe I think you said it that there's just been too many negative plays already here through the first quarter of this ball game for Green Bay and so they once again find themselves in a third down and long [Applause] third down and 15 passes off the hands of Jordy Nelson they come forth town they come back Joe with the same play that they ran on the last third and long they're gonna block everybody up on that side they're going to try to throw a short pass to Jordy Nelson and get as much yardage as they can I can't imagine that Mike McCarthy calls this thinking that they're going to be able to pick up the first down which is not a good possession even on the sack now George Selby makes a nice play for the Cowboys but Matt Flynn has to be able to avoid that and at least get the ball out of his hands masta puts the nose of the ball down hits it the end zone and clan the game right here at AT&T Stadium on Friday January third were the best bowl games of the year is on Fox 13th ranked Oklahoma State taking on James Franklin the 8th ranked Missouri Tigers 18 T cotton for classic Friday January 3rd at 7:30 Eastern only on Fox that's a great bowl game too I played in it when I was coming out of UCLA and they do a great job that Bowl committee here in Dallas and two teams that Joe is you know with Missouri both those clubs really thought that you know they were going to finish a lot higher than what they are that's gonna be a great matchup yeah two teams really finished strong Missouri had that rough SEC championship game but still what a year under head coach Gary Pinkel after a Disney start last year [Applause] and Dez Bryant is across the 25 to the 26 and Dez Bryant you you look at him coming into this game and you really expect him to have a big game today because last week on Monday night he only had two catches in that game against the Bears and the pattern with him has been whenever he's gone a game where he hasn't had many opportunities or has been limited in his receptions he usually has a huge game the following week I would expect him to have a good game here this afternoon he's already been involved a few times he's gone six straight about a 100-yard day on second at 4:00 receivers [Applause] riots Ramon Williams in coverage and a flag is thrown [Applause] Cowboys rent or excuse ran a double move and Ramon Williams just a lot of opportunities in this game for the Cowboys you mentioned Tony Romo and they're not taking as many shots down the field is what we've seen from them in previous years but this is a game that they can if they elect to because of the style of play and because the Cowboys have been running the ball effectively again here this afternoon we're gonna see a lot of one-on-one matchups [Applause] play-action Romo protected in the pass is tipped got in to get his handgun reported reach dez bryant's Jayhawk Nick makes a nice play on that ball and a Jayhawk I think he's one of the more underappreciated guys around the league and a lot of expectations when he came into the league from Ohio State because of where he was drafted but you know he's probably been their most consistent player defensively he shows up every week he used to be a 1st and 2nd down guy and now he even stays in and Nickolas situations fifth overall pick back in those six [Music] who stays up got away from Vermont Williams who gets a first down and that just shows the strength of Dez Bryant that Ramon Williams he's matched up on him in man coverage and Ramon Williams who is actually a pretty good tackler for the most part and he tries to take him high but yeah Dez Bryant and then the fun starts really wants the balls in his hands it's hard to bring to the ground already eight plays of ten or more yards for the Cowboys early minutes second quarter [Music] [Applause] here's Austin flagons throne and this could be on Austin and it is they're going to call offensive pass interference on Miles Austin as you show little surprise Miles Austin was even able to locate that ball on the Sun this this stadium runs east and west and you get that Western Sun this time of the day and it was right in Miles Austin face this is that little shop right in front of Mike McCarthy you see the Sun peeking through on what is a good weather day they've been hit with some bad weather even here in the Dallas area better day today roof is closed first in 20 [Applause] setting up the screen for Murray [Music] Mauri crosses the 40 we go down to Pam Oliver the packers do not like this news as they lose one of their big bodies up front defensive end Johnnie jolly has a shoulder injury he's listed as questionable but shows no signs of coming back in Justin Durant he's getting evaluated back in the locker room for a right hamstring injury he's been dealing with that for a while Joe yeah so another hamstring for the Cowboys and for Green Bay not having jolly coming off arguably his best game the big loss raaagh the steps all day is it complete for the Varco Marie Brad Jones was out there in coverage its third and ten the secondary for the Packers and as we've seen I mean they've had a hard time keeping up these Cowboys wide receivers but when you give Tony Rommel that kind of time in the pocket you're expecting a big play down the field Packers were fortunate with no more pressure than they got on that one not to give up the pigment see Sean Richardson in it's safety third game back missed about a full with net fusion surgery [Applause] last week the second hand rub on the shotgun on third down great pocket [Applause] by morgan Burnett it's a great job by Morgan Burnett on the back end of this play Joe and you see Tony Romo in the kind of time that he has had in the pocket here today and this time they try to take the shot down the field but Morgan Burnett he retreats and he's able to turn and at least try to locate the ball and make a play he safeties around the league they've got a tough job they got to be linebackers in the run game they've got to be foreigners in the passing game there was a time where this league didn't ask so much from those safeties but they sure Jones gets it away [Music] over his head into the end zone a flag is down back at the 50 and we'll give you another look at the end of that play with Burnett defending Dez Bryant that's just a great job by him you know so many times in that situation the the defensive back won't get turned and so you're just playing the receiver and you'll see a lot of times a Pentagon play so it's a touch back the Packers who find themselves down by 10 with matt flynn at quarterback back to work here in Harlem today today's game is sponsored by citizen echo drive fueled by light it never needs a battery there is no place in the world AT&T Stadium interesting Joe on that last possession by the Cowboys they they didn't run the ball one time seven straight passes and it's an offensive though they've been running the ball pretty back who's trying to get some traction on offense down by ten robson Nelson who does not have a touchdown since Aaron Rodgers went out Aaron Rodgers was close and was obviously disappointed after a good practice day on Thursday to get word from the medical staff that the collarbone is not healed enough for him to make the start here today and he told us sometimes the doctor the medical staff is there to protect the player against himself here's Lacey [Applause] lacy is out to the 30 with a first down for Green Bay what a rookie year Eddie Lacy has had and even when you look at his numbers at the end of the game sometimes they're not all that impressive if you're just looking at total yards or yard per carry average but he is a punishing runner and he is so physical in his style and he's been a real workhorse ever since he had that concussion and came back it's been really good we had that week two concussion against Washington miss the Cincinnati game then the Packers had their bye week and Eddie Lacy since week five as the third highest rushing total across the entire NFL right now Joe the Packers are there going kind of a muddle huddle the offensive lines they're getting the call but the receivers are staying out wide they went with the no huddle last week to start that game against Atlanta did not start it here today they're trying to find some kind of rhythm Mike McCarthy doing all they can to get in that window second and nine [Applause] or on the coverage Jones the intended target Aaron Rodgers told us no huddle works so well for Matt Flynn and for Rodgers because it's less complicated there's less shifting you can just be more aggressive and get into a rhythm we can see we're got there about a step too late well they're also bringing linebacker pressure we've seen secondary players Jerry Jones said he wanted to see more risk defensively bring blitzes and the Cowboys have done that older general manager defensive coordinator third down and nine is caught but short of the first down by plenty by Corliss I'll clean that up a little bit this past week after the Bears game Jerry Jones the owner didn't feel that Monte Kiffin you know really changed it up enough and brought enough looks and you know they can't just sit back and play base defense and be that effective and you knew coming in you were going to get a lot of different looks you know when the owner said Jess hey we need to do more and the Cowboys have done that and the Packers just haven't had an answer for it it's funny though to hear Jerry Jones say he wants to see his defense tape player Chris seemed like that was the very reason why they got rid of Rob Ryan there's Beasley on the return from the 20 out across the 25 Jerry Jones knows a thing or two about risk I put my money with him and there it was before the game down on the field his team up ten second quarter [Music] I'm sorry the old montage Cowboys or the Packers you alright alright okay two great franchises you look at the championships not only history back in the 60s but history season history back in fines Miles Austin and the Dallas Cowboys as we said the last go around desperately trying to get number 19 back in a rhythm well Miles Austin runs a really nice route and eat and he uncovers himself for his quarterback and that's because these two guys have been playing together for so long even those month you see Miles Austin on this deep crossing route he's trying to sit down in the hole he sees that Tony Romo is in trouble a Jayhawks working back towards him and he gives Romo a place to go at the football it's just a great ad lib by Miles Austin inactive five games the bad hamstring he heard against the Rams at week three here's a catch by Terrence Williams his second of the day except six Richardson unstop Terrence Williams getting a few more opportunities here in this game remember they had to rely on him heavily when Miles Austin was missing those games but then when Austin came back they started running the ball Terrence Williams hasn't been as big a part of the offense but right now the Cowboys putting pressure on the Packers Packers desperately need their offense to do something nine straight pass players [Applause] Bell rod with murky [Applause] he pushed away a Jayhawk and picks up six such stretch song play by the Dallas Cowboys and the Margo Marie is an excellent at running it he's either going to keep it play side or if he sees a hole then he nights it and gets going north and south he's a very physical runner he has great speed his biggest problem throughout his career is just staying on the field but when he's healthy and running he's as good as anyone he's missed 11 of 44 possible games coming in he's on the roll and already over 80 yards on the day [Applause] when I with another cowboy first down 13 yard completion - Jason Whitman well Dom Capers maybe needs to have a conversation with Jerry Jones about bringing some pressure because you see how much time he has had in the pocket and on that play and right now the Cowboys can do whatever they want they can run the football they can throw it as I said if the next time the packers get the ball if they don't start doing something the cowboy is going to run them right out of the stadium Dom Capers as we've said before is that a defense that's been willing to give up yards but predicated on getting takeaways takeaways just got it away PJ Raji on the tackle gated 3 the Dallas Cowboys in years past no bromo gets the heat he's kind of become the cover boy on the cover of Si and on the cover of ESPN the magazine when everybody ever asked me that was about two people over the course of the last three years I always said the offensive line wasn't good enough this offensive line is a real strength to the Dallas Cowboys and is allowing Dallas to do what they want on the ground and through the air thanks for laughing and thanks for never asking Troy ten point game time out second today's game is sponsored by the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy gear he can't compete on the football field anymore but he can compete the spin class where were you all over there flywheel and you never showed up they had a bike reserved for us I know my limits Maddie's sham-pow second and seven Bravo and John Rich of Bryant's about 37 good idea by the Cowboys they run two vertical routes and it gives depth it gives Dez Bryant than an opportunity and Tony Romo just leaves him a little bit too much with that inside route by Jason Witten as you see that held the safety just enough Shawn Richardson to be able to give him a place to put that ball Dallas used a timeout first time out of this half taken by either side I was prior to second and seven now third and seven [Applause] to his right [Applause] out of his reach Romo directing traffic as he made his way toward the sidelines its fourth down good pressure by Mike Daniels at least Fortson Romo out of the pocket and getting off the field that's one thing this Packer defense when they've been able to force the Cowboys to third down they've been able to get it off the field neither offense so far has converted on third down today 43 yard try coming from Dan Bailey 15:47 hit from 23:43 he's becoming automatic and the Cowboys have scored on four of their five possessions and lead by 13 here at home [Music] Kevin green going through it over on the sideline it's a 13-point game 16 to 3 and the Packers about to get it back and try and figure out something offensively at one big play that was to James Jones early and that's it like a high takes and knee remember this guy not that guy this goes Brett Favre is the offensive coordinator of Oak Grove High School at Mississippi and they led his team to the class 6a football state championship on December 6 the first state championship the school is ever won and Brent was quoted afterwards Santa can't say it's the Superbowl but it's pretty close it's the offensive coordinator they they only support 14 points but I'm told he has the number one offense in the state and they played the number one defense in that game so congratulations to him I'll tell you of all the guys I've played with and against Brett was the last guy that I thought would go into coaching good for him from the 20 hand off to Lacey Lacey gets to scope for game break here's Joel clock Joe let's go down to Carolina and DeAngelo Williams gettin loose little screen pass from Cam Newton and he's gonna take it 72 yards for the touchdown his longest of his career Newton's 21st of the season matches a career-high 16 6 Panthers Joe dangle Williams back last week we'll see DeAngelo Williams next week at home against New Orleans nice catch in traffic for a first down it really was a good catch Joe because that ball was challenged I mean he had to be strong at the point of the catch in order to make this play and that's really one of his strengths I mean you're gonna have guys sit on the route says what happens there but he comes back to the ball and makes a nice play he was covered by Sterling Moore beat in the web to the edge of these brought down by JJ Wilcox a flag is down that's the best offensive lineman for the Packers just sitting yeah he's really had a good year but an untimely penalty there right after they get the first down that's starting to do something I mean this offense has struggled and when they've had negative plays they've had penalties it's been hard for them to overcome them Josh sitting as a left guard and he was the one who was called and turn them a little bit but with Jill the Packers right now are making this defense look like the 85 Bears and they have not really slow anybody all season long on first and 20 Flynn protected sterling with his first interception added in season out of SMU and a 22 yard return with a take away it's not quite sure what Matt Flint seeds you're gonna have safety in the middle of the field and that's where Jordy Nelson was working so you got to deal with the safety there and then the coroner falls off of it sterling Moore and just not much of an opportunity to complete that pass [Applause] as we just said Maura's slipped in front of BW Webb who was a fourth round pick out of William and Mary and he's been a nice addition the Cowboys are playing without Morris Claiborne has missed five of the last six now with a bad hamstring his father just passed away as well and so an opportunity for more and nearby us a new [Applause] on first down spin can't to catch covered by shields I think Mike McCarthy has got to be shocked right now I mean after the nice win last week against Atlanta and got things going for Matt Flynn in this offense and it really thought it would carry over I know I'm visiting with him I said hey you got to feel pretty good coming off of that game playing the Cowboys the worst defense in football the worst pass defense in football and he said well we feel good I mean I don't expect this to be a 97 ballgame it's not that but the Packers just have not had much success leading ago they've been on the Green Bay side of midfield all day here's Robbo down and a big play by Daniels that's what Green Bay needed Mike Daniels has six and a half sacks on the year it's just what the Packers needed and you know defensively they're hanging in there as best they can they really overall considering how much they've been on the field and how little help they've gotten from their offense they've they've held up pretty well in minimizing the damage now third down in 22 drived it started at the 20 after the interception by more [Applause] floats it here at Busch made the play he made a big one against tony gonzales last week at home facing the falcons crowd wanted a flag and they don't get it on bush yeah he had tony gonzalez last week and i think that's a pretty good non call to be honest way to joe i mean there's some grabbing going on there's hand checking Witten's pushing on him he's pushing on him a little bit but jared bush probably could have turned and tried to make a better play on that ball but all in all they let him go and so now a 50 yard try by Bailey looking for his fourth of the day and he got it is four for four and the lead grows for the Dallas Cowboys in a game they need up 16 well I know the Dallas Cowboys Troy will look at this as it's good it could be a lot better as drives have stalled a big sack by Daniels to make it a 16-point game it's still well within reach for Green Bay but they've got to figure out something offensively against this last ranked defense to the Cowboys here before the half yeah they got to figure out a lot and I don't know where Mike McCarthy's going to start at halftime they offensively have just 64 yards of offense Cowboys came in last ranked allowing just under 430 yards per game and the drive from Matt Flynn and the Packers will start in 220 I thought it was interesting to read Mike McCarthy saying you know he once got told zine back next year he thinks he can develop him into a good NFL quarterback and he does think a lot about did I give up on towles een too early he's got a big arm he did throw some pics but he showed some glimpses of being somebody that the Packers might want to keep around and McCarthy admitted as much yeah I think so too I don't think he only went away from him too early I mean they needed to do something and Matt Flynn he was a veteran guy so I don't necessarily disagree with that but tole zine has a lot of upside there's no doubt from a 20 itas to lacy one cuts back and Eddie Lacy's got a first down as the drive begins in 11 yard carry for lacy who is challenging the Packers rookie rushing records he already has the record for rushing touchdowns and he is chasing down John Brockington with what he has done QB little cumulatively on the ground [Applause] across the 30 flag lacy and I think the 35 they flag at the snap outside the nanny to the fans lined up in the neutral zone five-yard penalty first down Jarius win see what the offense is done for Green Bay their last four possessions and this Packers team when they are rolling on offense even when they've struggled defensively over the years I mean the offense keeping the ball and scoring points has been what's helped the team out and that's gonna lot of that defense if they decide on first and five it's lacy lacy is going to fight too just shy of the forty and the two teams start to rough it up again a four by lacy second and a yard coming up to the Packers who have all three of their timeouts remaining I think Mike McCarthy's just trying to you know get into some kind of rhythm that he's been trying to find throughout this first half on this possession and so the clocks riding to have timeouts plenty of time but put together a drive and try to get some points on this Drive [Applause] Brian Taylor there's wide open yeah Matt Flynn knows that knows that he missed it and when you get to that point as a quarterback when you're you know struggling and you're not seeing the field particularly well you start aiming every throw and then you hesitate on every throw as well and it's it's hard to play the position when you're not cutting it loose and now Matt Flynn's not doing that right now the priority for Green Bay is to get the first down flin drops it off for you make the catch lost its footing it's now for it down to the punt team comes on for the Packers it was a ball that Eddie Lacy could have caught but it's also a throw that Matt Flint could have made a lot easier if you get it out there and so he doesn't have to turn and you allow him to then just run naturally you picked that first down up very easily so two throws there to wide open guys and here they are funny the Dallas Cowboys defensively a team that we struck down at Chicago last week Packers because there was interference to make the fair catch by Diwan house these leads got to be given a clean opportunity and was not as you'll see davon house come in web get on the ball it looked like anyway fair catch in affairs number 30 the kicking team 15-yard penalty from the spot of the foul was a 50-yard punt then the penalty and 15 yards later the Cowboys will have it up 16 look at the offensive leaders for the Cowboys Marco burning with a big first half Cowboys can this point attacked this two minutes any way they want they've got two timeouts left starting at the 25 they hand it off he's out across the 30 a gain of six mica hide on the tackle it's pretty amazing though Joe I mean you look at this first half and the discrepancy in yards in time of possession and everything else the fact that the Cowboys only I say only lead by 16 points the Packers really fort psmith on second and for Romo - he had to adjust and death Bryant is out of bounds inside the 35 at the 32 37 yards and this is about Romo's third guy on the read he runs a slant and go BrahMos working the other side comes back to him Sam Shields fights and leaves Bryant wide open and the numbers just keep piling up a 300-yard first half for the Cowboys offensively [Applause] riot is clusters first 100-yard game in a month and a half Marie was along the sidelines at a Jayhawk was in coverage second and tenth well other than Mike Daniels who got pressure on Romo I can't think of any other time where he's really been forced to get the ball out of his hands quicker than he wanted to Daniel's with the only sack those only been knocked down once hit four times second and ten [Applause] Clay Matthews from the other side deformation coming on the rush the pass club by Austin so they moved Clay Matthews to the other side trying to get pressure on Romo Bravo's protected and Miles Austin has a 15 yard catch Matthew swaps over to the other side tries to work duck free that doesn't work and then Miles Austin remember earlier he ran the inside route Micah Hyde was with him Miles Austin puts a move on high as though he's going to take the middle gets him to overreact to that side and then leaves himself wide open to the flat that's a that's a well run route by Miles Austin we can join the list of playmakers for Dallas to regular seasons to give games to go after today first down and he's down [Applause] [Music] he just plowed right through Morgan Burnett he just drops his shoulders and stiff-arms them and he's mad at himself for not getting this ball into the end zone he was wide open those he crosses the middle you see the confusion by Green Bay trying to figure out who has who nobody goes with Dez Bryant if you're gonna pick one on that's guy yards on the day first ago [Applause] [Applause] eighth rushing touchdown of the season for DeMarco Murray a lot of talk going on there with the defense they don't get it settled again Mackenzie Bernardo he comes off and makes a good block and DeMarco Murray shows great patience before he hits it this is about as thorough a first-half as the Cowboys have played this season and they're doing it against the Green Bay Packers a 26 to 3 game 24 seconds left it's a 23-point game the Cowboys never did have to even use a timeout on that possession that started with just under two minutes to go in the half and then scored on six of the seven possession so far in the opening half whether it's been offensively or for the first time in a while defensively the Cowboys have looked very good here this afternoon 24 seconds left in the half here in Texas a place where the Packers have not won since 1989 Curt Menefee is standing by and he gives us a sneak peek as to what's coming up at half-time coming up on the Beast at halftime we'll talk about the Eagles losing big time the Giants getting shut out at home for the first time since 95 the Redskins giving away their game to the Falcons the NFC East in December I guess that means the doors open for Dallas right these guys to talk about that I'm a beast ahead ton little big day by her cousins for the Washington Redskins a team that went for two points instead of a tie at the end of their game in Atlanta but an impressive day nonetheless the understudy of our cheap drink [Applause] across early and growing the flag was Jarius win was on infraction number 92 defense unabated to the quarterback five-yard penalty first down so now first and five for the backers who have all three timeouts but not showing the ability to get anything going downfield only 24 seconds left in the half I think normally just say hey was taking me and you can go in but Mike McCarthy is seen about enough of this mass he wants to what does he have a loser first down and is not about with 19 seconds remaining the Dallas Cowboys they are trying to get a win here today they'll tie record-wise Philadelphia at 86 they so far have the head-to-head tiebreaker Dallas is at Washington next week and then they finish in week 17 here at home against the Eagles lost on the road today at the Vikings go [Applause] on first down the time and busting and good coverage downfield by Sterling Moore who has the interception all running to his credit in this half yeah he is played well here in this first half this is outstanding coverage then he has him he's in a great position he's playing the ball in Bostick he you know at least goes up and makes a play on it keeps that one for being intercepted also he had the hike the bandage on more but more in good coverage but a nice fine the Cowboys sterling more they need a second and ten [Applause] boy one second left they even put two seconds on the clock timeout was taken by Green Bay two seconds remain [Music] only one shell makes dreams come true and discovers superstars American Idol returns this January with Jennifer Lopez Keith Urban and Harry Connick jr. American Idol the search for a superstar begins this January on Fox the Cowboys put des Bryan in they got the team that they use whenever an offense is going to throw the help Mary try to get it down the field see if the Cowboys are able to get to Matt Flynn he's got enough arm strength to get it down the field it's gonna be a heck of a throw three seconds left in that half so this is it for the first half of play of barring a defensive penalty which is probably the only thing Packers can hope for [Music] [Applause] bro instead underneath it's late [Music] lacy the rookie the state a catch and run for lacy of 34 yards but a dominant first half for the Dallas Cowboys trying to tie the Eagles on top of the NFC East let's go right to curtain the guys in LA he's a half-time [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] for the touchdown this word touchdown [Music] America's game of the week continues and it was not just a good first half for the Dallas Cowboys it was a record-setting first half for the Cowboys the most all-time yardage in the first half in the franchise history I'm Joe that's Troy and well the Green Bay Packers have got to figure out something offensively something they could not do the entire first time well everybody always talks about halftime adjustments and what exactly do they mean I I've always felt that they're a bit overrated but we'll find out what adjustments Mike McCarthy and his staff have made because obviously they've dug themselves a heck of a hole now we saw him come back last week and that win against Atlanta but they've got to figure out something on the offensive side of the ball finally your favorite on team all season long just by going to itunes.com slash NFL well we'll see what the Green Bay Packers try and do is they will start this second half with the ball like a high waiting Bailey has shown an accurate leg in a strong leg all day and continues on the back of the end zone down to the field and pant Oliver will Joe Mike McCarthy when I spoke to him he said we're going to revisit the way we started the game and how about heavy dose of Eddie Lacy defensively he says we got to do a better job on those crossing routes and just get pressure on the quarterback meantime Jason Garrett very proud of his defense the way they've responded he said that we need to just keep moving forward though forget about the first half all together back to you thanks Pam Troy do you want to throw the bouquet toward Monte Kiffin or should I starting at the 20 are the Green Bay Packers down by 23 here's Lacey Lacey forget the bouquet Annie Lacey is inside the 40 inside to 25 and a good start to the second half for the Green Bay Packers on just a simple off tackle run you can see here looked like they were going to drop him down and B to that side but he started to rotate then to the middle of the field and good blocking up front opened up a huge lane then for Eddie Lacy talked about something this Packers offense desperately needed coming out at half Eddie Lacy gives him a spark 60 yard carry and that is his longest of this rookie season starts now in the backfield first time he's been on the field lowers his shoulder and takes it to the 15 a 5 yard carry by James Starks after the 60 yarder by Eddie Lacy well we heard Pam's report in talking with Mike McCarthy when he said we're going to revisit the way we wanted to start this game running the ball with Eddie Lacy they come out and do it and you can see it Joe the linemen are coming off the ball there's some urgency in the way that they're getting the plays run and they had successes last two run second at five starch picks up to Eddie Lacy who is pressing his way toward another 100-yard day the ground games been so good and that's because of the rookie who they picked up in the second round this is a franchise that went 44 games without an individual rushing for 100 yards in a ball game they've got five in their last 12 I think is the big third down for the Green Bay Packers after the way they started this hack to have to settle for field Flynn ends up Nelson he took it away tuck it away from Scandrick and Jordy Nelson's got his first touchdown from a quarterback this season not named Rodgers we saw this on Monday night from Orlando Scandrick he's in a great position but he just doesn't make a play on the ball I mean you he's in a position to intercept the pass not only should this not be complete it should have been intercepted Monday night he failed to make the play he fails to make the play here talk about giving this Packers team some life to start this second half it started with a 60 yard run by Eddie Lacy a chance in the endzone Cowboys just gave him a two-year extension on Friday Jordy Nelson gets the touchdown that's his eighth of the season and some life for the pack here in Texas today's game is sponsored by Southwest Airlines find our fares online only at Southwest comm and by Ford only forgives you EcoBoost fuel economy and a whole lot more we welcome you back to Arlington Texas that's a favorite hot spot for dinner Dallas area is the Green Bay Packers go right down the field and a drive lasted less than two minutes wasting the big play as Terrence Williams takes me and we go down to Pam Oliver Joe we got a couple of injury updates for you first for the Cowboys Justin Durant we talked about him earlier with that hamstring injury was aggravated to the point where he is out for the rest of the game and you know about the Flex at linebacker for the Cowboys they have a little more linebacker Ernie Sims he has a hip injury and he's being evaluated status unknown back to you so they are getting so low on linebackers Devante Holloman in this seven games with a neck injury they've got a rookie Cameron Lawrence they cut or a lemon to get Edgar Jones active today 10 on that second level a balanced defense now Elmo from the 2016 so far the Cowboys have been able pretty much to run at will against the Green Bay defense again a five day Ryan Pickett he saved a huge run there they gain five yards on the play but Marco Murray hadn't had a lot of space out in front of him if he had to got him there by the ankles at the last minute right ticket signed as an unrestricted free agent back in those six here's his client see with it market pop Williams made a stop and it's a first down well as we expected coming in Dutch Brian has has gotten a lot of a lot of looks and he's gotten a lot of balls thrown in his direction he had a nice first half there and Ramon Williams you know playing off and that was a pretty easy pitching catch for the two of them as you see Dez Bryant with that taxi or this gaming goes for over a thousand yards second straight season for number 88 the Packers without Johnny jolly as well he's out with in children jury who said in the first half on first down [Applause] it's got another cowboy first down here's Joel clap with the game break Joel let's head to a Tennessee now an arizona loss will be good news for New Orleans in San Francisco that would punch their ticket to the postseason Delanie Walker is helping them out one-yard touchdown Titans up 1713 Joe and Troy Annie Walker was questionable going into that game with an injuries had a big year former San Francisco 49er last year in Tennessee now at first down we look at the playoff picture in the NFC division leaders on your far left Seattle won today big at MetLife and you wonder if it's the first of two visits to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey for Seattle before the end of the year the home of Super Bowl xlviii New Orleans they're in trouble today in st. Louis Carolina's winning so who knows where that's headed because those two teams meet in Carolina next Sunday now let's try the time Philadelphia on top of the east here's Brian first down again shields can't bring him down and needed help from MD Jennings a gain of 16 this have not had an answer for these crossing routes whether it's been the short drag routes like des Bryan runs there or the deeper crossing routes with this man coverage they've just not been able to keep up with the Cowboys receivers [Music] iein caches 135 yards the Dez Bryant is down near the $35 him at 2:36 a gain of six this Cowboys offense answering you know they give up the touchdown to the Packers to start this second half and then offensively you think that all right the Packers now have narrowed the gap to 16 and what are you going to do offensively and Cowboys have answered that and they're on a nice dry [Music] [Applause] adjustment but could not make the catch as he flashed in front of Tremont Williams third and five Clay Matthews at the end of the play was able to at least get a little bit of pressure on Tony Romo enforce him to hurry up to throw a little bit but even with that Vermont Williams in coverage it looked like Dez Bryant had an opportunity to make that play Hannah the one trying to block and keep clay Matthews off of him it didn't look like Vermont Williams got a hand on it but the Cowboys have yet to convert on third down so at least the Packers were able to get him [Applause] extra been on the road in the secondary and it's going to be a hold against the Packers which is an automatic first down Jared Busch we saw it earlier and whether or not it should have been that's interference in the second was an easy one to call so the automatic first down [Music] like McCarthy's been at the postseason five of the seven previous years he's been head coach at the Packers took over or six got his team with Brett Favre to the NFC Championship game that freezing day Atlanta lows field on the loss to the Giants won it all in this Stadium 2010 season Super Bowl 45 being the student 25 Boyd on the tackle at gain of 6 with a marker Murray we saw his numbers he's already over a hundred yards rushing and he's ran the ball very well this offensive line Joe you talked about them a little bit earlier and you know they had been kind of the the pinata around here for the last several years and probably rightfully so Tony Romo was taking a lot of hits they weren't running the ball all that effectively but they have done an excellent job up front and DeMarco Murray as we've seen when he gets his opportunities he's a hard guy to stop [Applause] second at four Murray tries this when the flag is thrown Hawk is in on stop no game but a flag is down only 68 9 yard penalty that is Troy only the second holding penalty against duck free all year he was a highly penalized player out of tackle last year for Dallas yeah when you talk about punching bags none was bigger than duck free last year he'd signed a big contract and he just quite simply didn't play very well so through the free agency market and saw who was available and they thought hey you know we'd like to keep Doug free but he did have to take a cut and pay and he has played much better and he's been a better run longer than by shields [Applause] now third down how about the Seahawks they've clinched their spot and they are very close to clinching home-field advantage for a team that just doesn't lose at home Russell Wilson's never lost at home 14 at home Pete Carroll he's got that machine running Snyder the general manager John Jenna great job bringing talent in Richard Sherman pick I saw today up against the Giants be last week they've had some challenging games but they show up this week third 13 down by mica hide it's worth doubt that's that penalty the penalty hurts the Cowboys and we'll see now what Dan Bailey is able to do once again the Cowboys are able to move the ball but the Packers at least keep them out of the end zone another long try 50 yarder coming from Bailey he hit from 50 and the first half is for the floor [Music] [Applause] mainly it's five four five Cowboys gave up seven get free back third-quarter in Texas aerial coverage provided by Nationwide Insurance above the turf here at AT&T Stadium where the Cowboys lead by 19 Baili kicks it away he's just not allowing any returns Aaron Rodgers frustrated he did not get the start today trying to pump up the team on the sidelines talk more about Aaron when we come back America's game of the week today's game on Fox is sponsored by Walking with Dinosaurs Friday only in theaters this drive will start at the 20 down by 19 format Flynn [Applause] Red's from the Cowboys throw it out to his wife the packers and specifically Aaron Rodgers were hopeful on Thursday that this game would be his return to action he felt good but he underwent another CT scan on that fractured left collarbone and he was deemed not ready they said his latest Thursday night he thought he would be the starter and [Applause] in on Friday and then was told they were going to put him down and he was clearly disappointed he was looking for days returned here against the Cowboys second and 10 lacy as a 60 yarder in this half is good for two first guy there was Barry Church you think about the Packers Joe and five and two at the time that he got hurt in that game against the Chicago Bears and what's happened since and you know this team I would think as far as the backup this quarterback position is going to have a far different look next year and this could happen to any season you know I mean what Matt Flynn had been the backup here for a while they had Graham Harrell man they met young guys they haven't had veteran quarterbacks and they've been very fortunate in previous years not to have the type of injury at this season third down and eight pass is caught nice catch hits a tight end and recoilless and on third and eight big catch and run for Corliss of 22 yards it was they needed to make a play and and Andrew Corliss was able to do it Matt Flint stands in there he delivers the ball and those types of plays when you have the opportunity one-on-one you have to be able to make the catch and Andrew Wallace does it coming off a big game last week rare best 66 yards in a touchdown against it [Applause] Cardos let's go to joel clap with a game break Joe let's go out to Oakland and the Raiders had just scored 21 unanswered points but then Jamaal Charles down the sideline 71 yards for the touchdown he's got a hundred and eighty seven yards receiving today five total touchdowns first player in the NFL to do that this season Chiefs up 42:31 Joe Troy and on their way to an 11 and 3 record which would tie Denver in the AFC wouldn't stop for dead it's lacy on second down the nice play made upfront by this Dallas defense a loss of five and it was Everett Brown who was added in season and you wouldn't expect that guy to make the play on this run John comes inside but Bakhtiari he just gets beat right away I mean at Bakhtiar even in the slow everett Brown down at all looked like it was blocked up pretty well inside whatever ground just beat him off the ball right away now third down in ten cowboy showing blitz they back out flag is down that a one-handed left-handed grab by Jordy Nelson and a conversion on third and 10 you see Jordy Nelson he starts like he's going to go across the field back alley number 32 pink ban that middle he's applying flavor both in the first day they get Scandrick that was a good call and it's great concentration by Jordy Nelson [Applause] so the catch good for 21 Green Bay is now at the Dallas 35 [Applause] looking left all the way that's challenge [Applause] Brandon Carr in good position earlier in the year he has a rough day against Calvin Johnson and the Detroit Lions a game that the Cowboys just let get away trying to not make that cost them dearly in the NFC East in the race with Philadelphia now second and 10 the Cowboys talked about locking these corners up especially Brandon Carr and letting him play press man-to-man coverage and they've held up you know James Jonah he had a chance at leads him up the field on second down Flynn makes a nice move at the 21 went around Holloman picked up 14 it's a really good job of Jarrett Boykin once he catches the ball putting his foot in the ground and getting North and South to pick up the first down because at the time that he caught it he was short of the first down a lot of times you see these receivers they start bouncing around a little bit they lose yardage and they don't pick up the first down he [Applause] the 21 starts first guy there was Carter it was Lawrence Cameron Lawrence because of injuries was in linebacker last week at Chicago and now because of the injury to Durant and later Ernie Sims it's Lawrence and Holloman two rookies and linebacker for Dallas they're awfully awfully thin at that position and hard enough tackling Eddie Lacy James Starks he's no picnic either second and five [Applause] and these Packers fans Andhra student attendance here at AT&T Stadium getting louder a completion of 13 yards I was a well-thrown ball by Matt Flynn and I see Jarrett Boykin he's challenged in tire way kid Brandon Carr running and then worked back down the line threw the ball and he does it perfectly Boykin too got more action when James Jones and Randall Cobb were both hurt week six at Baltimore made the cat sitting up first and goal [Applause] with a minute 13 left in the third quarter Packers trying to make this a game again what that route was right there Joe you've got James Jones and Jordy Nelson in the same spot on the field and you got David Bakhtiari who went down and trying to shake off whatever happened to him but that that route you don't get receivers that close to each other in the end zone somebody didn't do what they're supposed to second a goal back-to-back weeks for the touchdown for andropause and the Packers are creeping closer the extra point will make it a 12-point game you're able to split him out a guy that 6 4 and 250 pounds and he gives you a big target then for a quarterback and if that guy can get inside the coverage as he was able to do that's a clean look then for Matt Flynn how about the Packard you talk about adjustments at path back-to-back and it's now a 12-point game poreless a smile why not got a touchdown each of the last two games getting more interesting here in Arlington [Music] Packers lost a big weapon when Jamaica Finley went down against Cleveland eight games ago that time he had 25 catches three of them touchdowns with Corliss picking it up the last couple of weeks taking an audience on this Terrence Williams and as it turns out cannot make 220 not down at the 15 by Jarrett bush big break come back and the Cowboys will have it as the lead has been cut to 12 quiet day for two of the games premiere pass rushers Clay Matthews 27 year old who has six sacks this season and DeMarcus when a 31 year old who has six as well on the one tackle each so far those sacks started Iran before he made the catch second and ten but some quarterback playing from earlier in the day here in week 15 Matt Cassel with a win over Philadelphia his numbers Kirk Cousins strong in defeat and Colin Kaepernick win for the 49ers against the Bucks say I like Kirk Cousins I know a lot of people in Washington do after his performance today you mentioned earlier they went for two but rt3 grabbed the headlines last year but that team wouldn't have been in the postseason not with her cousin come on each of the tight-end James henna and so you don't run the ball you're worrying if you're Dallas you're up by 12 you're trying to take time off the clock two incompletions and there's still 55 seconds left in the third quarter well that surprises me Jo I mean you want to do what you do but they have run the ball so well DeMarco Murray is averaging over seven yards a carry and in this situation yeah you wish the clock is right now what you're trying to wind down if you're Dallas they throw the ball first a second down both incomplete and then still yet to convert on third because they have bitched out for Green Day inside the five Matthews was in there but he wasn't alone on the rookie day tone Jones and the Cowboys are letting the Green Bay Packers gain more momentum now on defense well Clay Matthews is right here in the middle he comes and nobody's there to pick him up he flushes Romo de Tom Jones is there that was a great job defensively by the Green Bay Packers of forcing a three and out but a lot of that the undoing to the Dallas Cowboys I linked for his strategy first and second down throwing the ball big mistake Jones hits it down the side of the 50 to the sidewalk and forced out of bounds around the 25 by Cameron Lawrence there's a few Packer fans here at AT&T Stadium and they're letting them know they're here after this change in momentum and Micah Hyde on this return they were already going to get excellent field position off the sack but now with a big return from him you know they've just gotten right back into Joe they have and I you said it there'll be a lot of people questioning the play calling on that last possession of possession that lasted under a minute I was surprised on first down that they threw it knowing how well they've run it and trying to get the ball game into the fourth quarter but then after that incompletion to throw it he get on second down I was surprised starting at the 22 Flynn lazy made by Barry Church and that'll end quarter number three we've got a game here in the home of the Cowboys who lead by 12 back after this on America's game of the week after this from your local Fox station [Music] this great rivalry it continues here Bible read it started back in the 60s with Lombardi great Tom Landry rolling forward through the years the good matchups Jimmy Johnson it's come to Garrett McCarthy the ballgame here in Arlington 12.8 the second 13 by church's point Caen and Boykin fights his way inside the 15 go down to the field and panel Oliver Joe the Packers are a little short-handed at Tynan's as they're down to two healthy ones in this game tied in Brandon Bostick he got hurt in the third quarter was carted off he has a foot injury and he is out for the day next year so left only with Ryan Taylor and Andrew Corliss who is coming off the touchdown the last time the Packers had it now big third three this is Big Joe because if the Packers were able to come away with a touchdown on this Drive I mean they put the pressure squarely on the Dallas Cowboys cutting it to a one-possession volume just got it away on third down passes he's got a first down Cameron Lawrence on the tackle and remember how thin the Dallas Cowboys all right now with the linebacker position the patient's there by Matt plan knowing exactly what the situation was and where to go with the football with the coverage to pick up that first down looked like an entirely different offense since they came out at intermission no Sean Lee he's out of the bath day right now others know Durant Bernice and it's Holloman and Lawrence two rookies it's lacy writes out selfies the one is struggling about the loss of one [Applause] and Selvi who made that play can't get up and lacy limps away you see him limping coming off a sprained ankle the final play of the first half last week at home against Atlanta so we'll take a break come back a check on George Selvi second down for Green Bay when we return [Music] city's game on Fox is sponsored by Pepsi live for now they took a long look at George Selvi he got up now on the sidelines lacy been limping around on the sidelines for Greenbay second and goal [Applause] when keeps it that stops stops initially Joe looking at this I thought they're going to motion Jordy Nelson go to him they pack everybody in offensively to go Jordy Nelson out wide but they come back to Starks inside on the middle middle screen but they they motioned Jordy Nelson all the way out they got the one-on-one on Scandrick that's where I thought they were going to go with the football but that was excellent execution a good disguise window dressing it with Jordy Nelson in motion it's a heck of a drive right there getting that ball into the end zone they confirmed the score first touchdown catch of the season for Starks as he kept his knees up before he crossed the goal line about this it's a five-point game in Arlington it was a twenty three point game at the half for the most part all Green Bay since we get a ball game Cowboys Packers what's flame done in the second half kick-off coming and the Cowboys will get it as the lead has now been cut to five start at the 20 the Green Bay Packers have outscored the Dallas Cowboys 21 to 3 in this second half and this came out of nowhere and Matt Flynn deserves a lot of credit for hanging in there after a bad start he does and and whatever Mike McCarthy said to him at halftime he deserves some credit too because they've made some adjustments has been able to they got the running game going as soon as they came out Matt Flynn has gotten into some rhythm the defense on that last possession they needed to make a stop because they were going to find themselves slowly running out of time and the Cowboys did him a favor by throwing the ball on the first two plays stopping the clock but give the Packers credit coming away with a touch then a big sack to the first two plays last time the Cowboys had DeMarco Murray gets five and we'll see now how the Dallas Cowboys attack this situation with over 12 to go in the game and their lead down to five points yeah and you look at it with 12 and a half minutes to play here in the fourth quarter you know for the Packers the way that that first half ended you find yourself constantly battling the opponent and then also dealing with the clock but because of the way that they came out and got touchdowns as quickly as they did and the T stop now the clock is no longer [Applause] interception it's Torontonians on the return Savitz groaning and now sniff attacks they're going to mark him just shy at a seven and Jason Witt was looking for a flag Brad Jones in coverage and after the play Witten's looking at the official wanting to call to mind Williams is there off the deflection did he make the catch that's I don't know about that Joe looked to me like it moved when he went to the ground they're going to take a look at that well it's a turnover so they'll give it a look and they're going to send the rainiest play will be reviewed it's either an incomplete pass of the third pick of the season fort Ramon Williams a big call when we come back [Music] today's game on Fox is sponsored by Walking with Dinosaurs Friday only in theaters while Coleman is given it a look under the hood we give it a look as we blow it up Williams trying to secure it it's like the ball moves some when the body of Williams goes to the ground meanwhile the Dallas Cowboys keep throwing the football they're averaging over seven yards a carry but they threw it on second and five at their own 25 the play was ruled an interception and is there enough there to overturn the call on the field otherwise if this goes into that category Tony Romo no the ball was tipped it's an interception and Tony Romo would be faced with his eighth of the year let's go to Mike Pereira Mike what you see a tough call the issue here Joe and Troy is did he have total control first before the ball hit the ground or was the ball moving and then did he maintain control when it hit the ground I kind of feel like there wasn't control there but you know it would seem to me after being the play receivers hands and hit the ground beneath the pass 12:04 on the game clock just that subtle movement of the football costs fight McCarthy's team what could have been a huge interception by German Williams instead it's third and five [Applause] welcome in a new audience this game was twenty six to three at the half with a home team the Dallas Cowboys on top the Packers have outscored Dallas 21 to three in the second half and they almost got an interception the ball was ruled to have move the arms of Taman Williams they overturn the call on the few Dallas over four seven on third down in this game a flag flies as it looked like Green Bay came across was the player drawn off on the far edge approachment number 96 finnaly it's a five-yard penalty on third and five and it's it up for a first down as Mike Neal came across too soon they got Neal it looked like Doug free was rocking back a little bit on his heels prior to prior to Neal coming across he's duck free do that right knee then right knee buckled a little bit man those guys those pass rushers they're just looking for any any twitch and they're coming that's a good catch by you it looked like free was moving but Dallas gets the call now on the first day a 22-yard carry and it's against Dallas holding number 88 often came to our killings in the spot of the foul still first down they get dez bryant on the hold and it takes away what was a 22-yard carry by DeMarco Murray for those who are just joining us and it will be first down in five after the penalty the ball back at the 35 the Cowboys trying to win here at the big lead at the half trying to tie Philadelphia at the top of the NFC's they made in week 17 here at AT&T Stadium and what was a record-setting first half the Dallas 332 total yards of offense bowls ain't ever had [Applause] going to draw flag look like on the tackle Brad Jones got a face mask a loss of one on the play but personal flail grasping the face Infantino infinitely person just that turn of the helmet is going to get the personal foul every time turn them just enough and they don't have the five-yard variety any longer they're all 15 yards and so that was a costly penalty there but you go back to the third down play there Joe with the penalty on Mike Neal failed to see Doug free move and that's oh that's a huge play right now in this ball game to penalties that have resulted in first downs on this drive for Dallas [Applause] [Music] started at his weight down to 25 he's got a touchdown today and now he's got a big catch for 27 yards Jason wins as good as there is in the game and the move that he makes on Brad Jones he starts inside sets up the route like he's crossing his face and then gets vertical just the subtle things within the route that allow you to get open and create separation and he does a great job against Brad Jones on that play and gives Conan Romo place both football Cowboys answering you expect to see more on the ground we expected that in the second half now what has just keep throwing the ball it's a safe - DeMarco he stays inbounds and is wrestled down inside the 25 back Joe and take a look at that third down play right here on Doug free it's a good shot of it here where he rocks back and they those officials don't normally miss that offensive tackles they're right out there for these officials to see and it's a huge break for the Cowboys Cowboys have had tremendous success running the ball well it's 17 times in this game they're averaging over seven and a half yards a carry they keep putting in the say about it [Applause] Terrence Wayne for the first down at the 11th drum on Williams on the coverage and a completion to the rookie of 12 yards good route by trimmin Williams there in the slot now it's for the Packers I mean you watch this block if it starts to wind down and it being a five-point game clearly a touchdown for the the Cowboys would be huge the backers can hold Dallas to a field goal to be with an 8 by shields Terrence Williams the intended target its second and tenth the cowboys they look like the running the read-option back there you know Tony Romo he rides the fake as long as he can to try to get everybody to bite which is fine but they're locked up in man coverage so Sam Shields he's not watching any of the action in the backfield good coverage there everybody wants a flag on everyone didn't get it second and 10 Cowboys had not finished drives in this game [Applause] two touchdowns back to the air Bravo [Applause] progress just inside the six Cowboys can get a first down without scoring a touchdown the third down here for Dallas after Williams and Burnett made that last stop they have to get just inside the one for a first down certain plays he looked back on during the game and say hey these were the differences in the outcome this is one of those plays Burton floor to his way see for the touchdown what a catch [Applause] what again and what a player I don't know how this ball got in there I mean all kinds of bodies and MD Jenny's never turns a ball that was underthrown they're trying to essentially double Dez Bryant and yet he's still able to make a play Tony Romo gives them an opportunity and that's this guy's greatness right here Dez Bryant you talk about him and all that he can do it's the competitiveness at the point of the catch that separates him from so many guys in this league Jason Garrett told us on Friday I can't tell you how much I love Dez Bryant was upset on the sidelines at that loss Oh heartbreaker at Detroit earlier in the year he's had some day and Tony Romo gets his team down the field a couple of big penalties on the Packers on that drive touchdown Dallas [Music] [Applause] here in week 15 the cowboy is looking for their eighth win of the season to type Philadelphia on top to the NFC East Dez Bryant 10 catches 140 yards in a touchdown the big one moments ago to return this to a 12 point game [Applause] let's look back at that last possession by Dallas first a penalty not called on Doug free and went against Neal it was the near interception that was overturned and then the touchdown on this play so there was the interception overturned by replay there were two first downs given by penalties on the defense of the Packers and then the touchdown to Dez Bryant who made that crazy catch over the defense so they missed the false start but that doesn't mean the Cowboys needed to go down the field and score the touchdown the interception on return was the right call and just a bad play on the ball here's Lacey Lacey's got eleven gonna first down very church on the stop still time left three timeouts remaining for the Green Bay Packers and back to that touchdown how did did Dez Bryant tensions ago see two guys in the same area Joe normally you throw a ball up like this with all those bodies good chance that ball is intercepted you know and it was underthrown but you know hey he can do things to take chances - Dez Bryant believing that he's going to make plays and he's done it over and over and over but the Packers that's on them giving up the touchdown they're on third down this is it by the way that touchdown for Dallas was their first third down conversion came on third down Elmo made the play and Brian made [Music] the crazy catch now second and ten we saw him run the ball on first down I know that you don't want to just throw it but right now it's just over seven minutes to play you're down two scores he's got to get some big chunks - Laci 60 yarder mister the second half that was a big chunk out here a gain of four so third down coming up Jarius win on the tackle for Dallas this game was twenty six to three Dallas at the half thirty-six whit's pass chorus first to the 49 and ruthless three times in this second half he has a touchdown today and now a 14 yard catch another good conversion we've seen him split out wide when he had to touch down on the slant they cut his split he lines up in the slot runs a good route that was a nice third down conversion big format Flynn I'm Tyler Texas a cowboy thing break hearts in this stadium today pass James Jones who had a big catch in the first half gained seven here he had a 39-yard or early in this ballgame the first time the Packers had it James Jones could have been a little smarter on that play also he had pursuit coming from the inside he wasn't going to get much more out of that play and could have caught it and got right out of bounds to preserve some time second of three Lacey Church made the tackle and lacy to the 34-yard line a 10-yard carry by Eddie Lacy who has a 100 yard day going here against the Cowboys yeah he's had some nice runs here in this second half there's been some holes here on this Drive rookies over a thousand yards for the season any lacing well the first bath to get there since 2009 [Applause] James Jones the target and we've said the name of sterling Moore a few times if he made that play he had a pick in the first half he's been pretty good there has I mean they've got some injuries he's getting an opportunity to come in and do his job and he's done it pretty well this afternoon the clock obviously stops there with the incompletion but that Pryor played Joe a lot of time coming off the clock and he running the ball and he's spending time at the line of scrimmage and with the ball snapped on second down and ten Flint [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so we sing dirt boy can a few times in this game run really good routes and he's not the fastest guy as I said but look at the adjustment to the ball that he makes that balls thrown where Matt Flint had to put it because there was pretty good coverage there by Brandon car but Boykin is able to come back and torque his body and make a big play clock continues to whine Florida has to go 27 yarder [Applause] he's got Nelson and Nelson doesn't get much Scandrick with a quick tackle second a goal this is this is a good Drive that the Packers have going I mean this whole second half it's been a an entirely different offense from what we saw in the first half the Cowboys haven't had an answer for the Packers here over these last 30 minutes and they needed to come down the field and get a touchdown and they're knocking on the goal once again on second down touchdown as he gets it to Joe's what right came back to his left and James Jones is in for the touchdown the good job by Matt Flynn he's trying to move defenders to see him in the pocket he knew where he was going he wanted to give the impression he was going to go to his right try to hold the linebackers but all along knowing he's coming back to James Jones on that underneath route how about for second-half touchdown passes for that man Matt Flynn jumps good from three yards out just his third touchdown of the season and he didn't like the tackle by the rookie Jim Wilcox is he grabbed him around a leg spun him down that's where he was together you got each other's faces makes it these two teams with so much history going face to face nose to nose in Arlington five-point lead pamphlets coming off a win at home over Atlanta on a frigid day and Lambeau Field he's got four second-half touchdown passes this was a 23 point game at the half last time Packers were trying to overcome that type deficit and got over the hump was an 82 against the LA Rams meanwhile what's about to happen here you have to thing is the Green Bay Packers going to have to prove that they can stop the run and the Dallas Cowboys are going to try and continue to run the ball as they have done with success here in this game the drive will start at the 20 Greg Kinnear is coming to Fox and a new show called great if dr. house was a lawyer it would be this guy and you know he'll be getting into all kinds of trouble built this rake Greg Kinnear happy to have them at Fox premieres Thursday January 23rd right here so you say the Cowboys are going to run the ball if you would day you think they might want to do that and we'll see but you're right I mean there should be little question as to what the Cowboys are going to do on this Drive travelers are averaging over seven and a half [Applause] 17 times whoa keeps it can air it out trying to take a shot on that first play and they have hasip it underthrown well they had him you're gonna see Dez Bryant is by him but the ball is a little under thrown the other part of this Joe Sam Shields one of the fastest players in the NFL so if you don't drive that ball and really make Dez Bryant go get it Sam Shields is going to make up some ground and he was able to on this plane even with that when the ball is up in the air and you've got Dez Bryant fighting with anyone for the football you tend to think he's going to make the play but samshield took cover and stops the talk so they take a shot beautiful work [Applause] Sparta down inside the 20 and it's Mike Neil who made the tackle the loss of tune give Tony Romo this kind of time and he made a lot of it for himself you better be really good then in coverage to plaster onto your receiver and Romo just didn't have anywhere to go with the football I think Tony rather than throw it away I think he just wanted to keep the clock running because at this point you know he had a chance to try to get it out of his hands timeout taken by Green Bay it's their first Kevin green he knows a little something about chasing quarterbacks yeah he's the outside linebackers coach with the Green Bay Packers Mike Neil who is a converted defensive lineman is the guy who made that play the drive started with 417 to go in the game it's been a 20-second drive to this point they lose two yards on the play by nail its third twelve Marie had a big day when he had a chance to run they're done now they bring extra [Applause] and they're going to say he was down there is no stumble and death client has a first down maybe his biggest catch of the day and they rolled him down by contact no fumble we'll take another look as Shields makes the tackle strike ball he had possession of the ball that's what I initially wanted to see is whether or not he would had secured the catch and he definitely did that the knees down before the ball hits the turf and comes out Mike McCarthy the head coach of the Packers looking up at the big screen which you can't miss with a challenge flag in his hand [Applause] with DeMarco Murray and pick up a fork well the Cowboys with just two third down conversions the first as you said being on the touchdown throw to the Dez Bryant that last one's just their second conversion but what a great one to get now they look at Dez Bryant over on the sidelines in this game I mean at halftime we're milling around and wandering aimlessly in the back of the booth thinking what kind of game are we going to talk about in the second half all we've talked about is this incredible effort by the Green Bay Packers it's been a great second half Matt Flynn you know however this game ends up he should be proud of the way that he came back the whole team should be the way they came back and played here in the second half I think they're all going to be asking themselves you know what the heck was that in the first 30 minutes of this ballgame because offensively they just couldn't get anything going but you know they were able to force the Cowboys to third down on that possession looked like they were in a great opportunity and Tony Romo delivers the Dez Bryant for the for the first down it was a 13 yard catch on third down and 12 Troy's 72 third down conversions they've been big last times it happened the Persians all came Matthews can't get the sick it she just got back Clayton Matthews has a free shot at Tony Romo and how he misses and you think there's going to be a big play Miles Austin has him beat off the ball that's the makeup speed that I talked about that the balls thrown behind and Sam Shields who is a wide receiver at the University of Miami until his senior year so he has ball skills he makes a great play on that one I'm gonna say it again I mean it was second down in six after four yard carry on first down by Murray and why the Dallas Cowboys refused to run the ball in this situation it's inexplicable the interception is given Matt flew the ball at midfield the calling of the Cowboys will come into serious question after that headquarters [Applause] and the Green Bay Packers trying to stay alive in the playoff chase in a good spot down by five deep crossing route and Matt Flint hangs in the pocket Andrew Corliss they really have not had an answer for him I agree with you Joe as far as the questions Romo got him off the hook converting the third down then you think ok you're going to run the ball they try to go for it again on second down and there's going to be a lot of questions to be answered here's Lacey the obviously the packers need the touchdown and that play and a carry of four yards will take us to the two-minute warning well and that's why they run the ball there knowing that they had the two-minute warning to stop the clock good idea there by McCarthy they also have a timeout they need to get it in the end zone what a game here in Texas this holiday season as part of the league's commitment to celebrate and honor alumni players NFL Homecoming spotlights the return of legends to stadiums across the country to access exclusive content and hear legends in their own words visit nfl.com slash homecoming was in the game against the Denver Broncos when Tony Romo threw for over 500 yards but an interception anew with two minutes left that led to the game-winning field goal here by the Broncos Thal anybody talked about an interception has given the Green Bay Packers life on a second six Joe she has got the pair and now second and six the greenback there's will a seal at stop lacy is going to be out of bounds it appears with another Green Bay first down where the interesting call there by Mike McCarthy on second and six with one timeout left you run the draw get on the outside on the perimeter by James Jones not only does he pick up the first down but he's able to get out of bounds you see what's happened here on the last four possessions by the Packers in this second half has been incredible this is worth the mark excuse me this is where DeMarcus Ware this is where he needs to show up he was challenged this week he's been a non-factor all afternoon Brown 221 its first down is the the line defense trying to come up with a stop pass very church and in recoilless it's kind of where they've been going after the Cowboys we talked about the linebackers and the injuries that they've had number 42 be fans Wally planks in the spot of the foul Mary Church is the guy who comes up and makes a play that gets the flag but no underneath coverages their young linebackers in the game and Andrew Corliss has been working that middle of the field good part of the second half a minute 50 remains Dallas with all three of their timeouts Green Bay with a walk first down [Applause] and that would timeout taken by Dallas we have a new audience this game is not to be believed the Packers trailed 26 to 3 at the half was a record-setting first half yardage why Dallas on offense but it's been all green bay in the second half this scored touchdowns on all four of their second half possessions the only touchdown for Dallas that credible catch by Dez Bryant the Packers about score the Cowboys 28 to 10 in this second half there's the most recent play the interception by Sam shields his third of the year none bigger Packers trying to hang on in the playoff chase started the day a half game out in the north and the leaves last drank defense is backed up second and one Eddie Lacy again right here instead [Applause] although they're by Mike McCarthy going with play-action second down one all one outside give them an opportunity to get the touchdown not there you've got two down still to pick this up but it does stop the clock Dallas's defensively now thinking along those lines they used one time out on defense McCarthy's team can get a touchdown they would go for two it's lazy Gracie [Applause] it helps them by not scoring they forced Dallas to use another timeout and as you said they pick up the first down so they have a hold another set of downs to work with this guy is unbelievable when Eddie Lacy gets hit in the hole he just keeps his legs going what confidence Mike McCarthy has in this guy to not only give him the ball and half the clock continued to run but trusting that he's going to pick up key yardage which is what he's done throughout this possession Mike McCarthy steam now checks in Vijay Raji he'll be a lead blocker on a first and goal play from the one five point game a minute 34 remaining and only one timeout left for the Dallas Cowboys [Applause] you look at it from the one-yard line and you say would you really want to score on this first play [Applause] attack and now a two-point try from Green Bay to try and make it a three-point game yeah they come back and you know so much for maybe not to score on the first play that give the ball to Eddie lace and they bring in BJ Raji and he goes over the top for the touchdown his two-point play right here clearly is a huge play in this game if they're able to come down with it make this a three point game then looking at overtime if Dallas just settle for a field goal old for two on two point tries this season are the Packers how do you not give it to half teeth much of this Daddy Lacey teams 2 for 2 against dental is his defense on two-point try [Applause] [Music] no see poreless the intended target and it was he the rookie safety in coverage it's a one-point game with a minute 31 left looked like there might have been a grab at the top of this we see as each well that could have easily called poreless with the push but there was a poll of the jersey by Heath as well both these guys could have been called the officials don't throw the flag they let him play now Tony Romo has a chance to make amends on that intersection with still plenty of time and one timeout and all he needs is a his a field goal men and a half is a lifetime again Tony Romo threw for five hundred six yards against the Denver Broncos was tied 48 48 with two minutes left in the game but threw an interception of people then jumped on him and said same on Romo he throws the killer interception well here's a game where the Packers were down twenty six to three at the half the Cowboys have gone away from the running game which is impossible to explain [Applause] touchdowns on all five of their second-half drives and lead by one and the game is in the hands of Tony Romo who has 21 career comebacks in the fourth quarter or over time when tied or trailing he's trailing by one talked about so much on the line here for both teams within their divisions and keeping playoff hopes alive rear log for Dan Bailey 53 yards which means getting it to the 35 he's got more leg [Applause] nice catch [Applause] they're going to mark him shy of the 30 clock stops with a minute 24 to go it was a great catch by Col Beasley an excellent route looked like he was going to be able to bring that one in but he did it was awfully close to picking up first down yardage they might to me are short of it [Applause] Williams he thinks he happy does a call immediately was at the ball hit the ground were inside two minutes that would come from the booth as far as a challenge his reaction gentleness of innocent see what happens on the play because the other one at the overturned he didn't look quite so confident this one he immediately comes up and acts as though he definitely caught it and so they'll take a look at this one upstairs Green Bay wisely called a timeout they shouldn't have to do that that looks like a good catch it looks like an interception to me but anytime you're in two minutes inside of two minutes on a play like that how do they not shot shut the game down it's that's inexcusable by by these officials in the replay Cisco meanwhile I'm this Billy charge the time add the buzz came prior it looks like a clean interception all the way we will review the previous play we haven't seen anything on either one of those two replays to suggest that was not what could be a game-ending tick bite Ramon Williams we get the call that we come back we're going to get the call after the booth review the officials claim that they are going to give Mike McCarthy and the Packers a time out back that they did shut down the game because of this for the booth review and this looks like an interception all the way which would in essence end this game he came out of this Joe and immediately he was asking for a review clearly it has to happen from upstairs has nothing to do with Mike McCarthy but you could tell by his reaction that he believed that it was a clear interception and by everything that we've seen it was now here's what happened on the play this is when he was short of the first down but on the interception Colt Beasley pulls up it was a trap defense byte Ramon Williams Tony Romo is expecting him to stay on the route stay on the move he pulls up which isn't necessarily the wrong thing because of Taman Williams playing the coverage he was but a miscommunication is what led to that here comes a call I won't call them after reviewing the play receiver had two hands under the ball completed the cage [Applause] [Music] please put 122 on the floor this is going to go down as one of the worst defeats in the history of the Dallas Cowboys I go back to play calling offensive Li [Applause] green baize show they couldn't stop the wrong I think it goes back to that sequence that possession right before the end of the third corner three consecutive passes the third one letting the sack Packers get great field position but that's when it really began the season is not over to the Dallas Cowboys and it certainly isn't over now for the Green Bay Packers with this come-from-behind win they trail 26 to 3 at the half and finally an exhale from Mike McCarthy they're at home against Pittsburgh then at Chicago Dez Bryant has left the field the Dallas Cowboys meanwhile are at Washington taking on Kirk Cousins and they racked up yardage today at Atlanta and then at home against Philadelphia the Dallas Cowboys have to wonder what just happened here in the second half as the Packers just continually well Joe there's games that you know you look back on and you're disappointed that you weren't able to win and there's a play here and there and this one really it's it's hard to explain I mean the Packers hey give him credit they went down the field and they came away with touchdowns a great job there in that second half but the management the clock management by the Cowboys not as bad as I've seen the Dallas Cowboys gave up touchdowns on the first five possessions for the Green Bay Packers in this half and for Dallas their worst defeat as far as the comeback is concerned was 24 years ago against Detroit and the Lions came back against the Dallas Cowboys it was a 24-point come back then that was two years ago against Detroit Tony Romo and this offense a lot of explaining to do with regard to the play calling this a 23-point comeback and a one-point win for Green Bay to take a break come back after this

I was at this game! The Cowboys fans were talking a lot of trash when they were winning 26-3. The taste of their sweet tears by the game’s end was ever so gratifying.

I've been watching our past games on YouTube and I never realized we checked in both Daniels and Raji as blockers. An incredible game and ultimately set the stage for one of the greatest plays in Packers history.

Also love DeMarcus Ware saying "WTF" to his coaches around 2:18:36. He knew.

Sam Shield's insane interception late in this game - and Eddie Lacy's 2nd half dominance - won it as much as Flynn and the line

Lacy gets so much hate these days but after all those years of not having a consistent running back... he was so fucking exciting.

Imo highlight of the whole game was when Jordy mossed Orlando Scandrick for a touchdown

[u/tmiller26]

Eddie Lacy was such a good rb when he kept himself healthy.

[u/HoustonPackers]

2000 of those lbs were Eddie Lacy

Games like this prove how good of a coach McCarthy was back in those years. He was throwing in defensive linemen as blockers, had confidence in players, and ran a much more diverse offense. Contrast that from games from the last two seasons and it's like he's become a completely different coach. He just never could adjust when the league caught up to him.
