Green Bay Packers went into AT&T Stadium and knocked off the Dallas Cowboys in a hard-fought 34-24 victory, on Sunday.

Despite the scoreline, Aaron Rodgers didn't light up the Dallas defense, only throwing for 238 yards; Aaron Jones, however, found the endzone four times on the ground. The Green Bay Packers' win came from an OVER (Offensive Value and Efficiency Rating) of 104.75, compared to the Dallas Cowboys's OVER (Offensive Value and Efficiency Rating) of 204.125.

As those ratings indicate, the Green Bay Packers shone on defense, putting up a total DVS (Defensive Value Score) index of 3.33, compared to 0.3 for Dallas. The unit picked off Dak Prescott three times and sacked him on another three occasions.

Green Bay's next game comes against the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football, while Cowboys will meet the struggling New York Jets.

He covers the NBA and soccer for Sports7, with specialties in legacy NBA players such as Michael Jordan and Premier League club Arsenal. Off the clock, he's a Kansas City Chiefs fan and a hockey goalie. Growing up loving Shaquille O'Neal and reading everything he could about the great big men throughout NBA history — likely because he was still tall enough, at least relative to his peers, to play center — he's continued to love learning about and exploring the historical and story-based sides of the basketball archives. As for Arsenal, Joe spent a year living in London and latched onto the local support of the club. He's barely missed a match since, loving Arsene Wenger, enduring the Banter Era, and following along through rebuilds. The Premier League interest developed into a passionate following of the Champions League, Europe's big five league, and international soccer as a whole when played at the highest level. Regardless of the sport, Joe is captivated by the stories of athletes beyond the box scores and how they push the envelope — both in terms of what we think a human is capable of accomplishing and how they find new competitive tactics to win.
