Packers vs. Cowboys Set-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Green Bay is 3-1 on the season, after falling at home to Philadelphia last Thursday, 34-27. The Packers drove their opening possession of the game 89 yards to a touchdown and led 10-0 early in the second quarter. But Green Bay gave up three quick Philly scores and trailed 21-20 at the half. Still trailing by a touchdown in the fourth quarter, the Packers twice drove to 1st-and-goals inside the Eagles' 10-yard line, once at the 1, but came up empty both times and lost outright as a four-point favorite.

On the night, Green Bay outgained Philadelphia 491-336 but got outrushed 176-77 and lost the turnover battle 2-0, creating at least a minus-7 points differential, and maybe more.

The Packers opened this season with wins over Chicago, Minnesota, and Denver, but a case could be made they got outplayed in two of those games.
