On defense, Bryce Zuppe recovered a fumble and Colton Jones picked off a pass and returned it about 45 yards to the Packers 1. Davis Burick also caught a pass for huge yardage on a 3rd-and-16 that led to another score. Marc Joseph converted on 4 of 5 extra point kicks as well.
The Packers stunned the Cowboys when Max Hartline scored on a 31 yard touchdown run just 29 seconds into the contest. It was the first time the Cowboys had been scored upon all season long. However, the Cowboys would score 30 unanswered points and the Packers did not score again until Cameron Lingle ran 40 yards for a touchdown with 3:03 left in the fourth quarter. Jimmy Ashcraft also had a fumble recovery on defense for the Pack. Cameron King kicked through both extra point attempts to round out the Packers scoring.
The Cowboys improve to 4-0-1 and the Packers fall to 3-1-1. The Cowboys can become outright champions with a win over the Chiefs or a Packers loss to the Rams next Sunday.
