The Dallas Cowboys dropped to 2-4 following a 23-13 defeat to the Green Bay Packers, with their self-styled "GOTI" offense failing to score before halftime for the first time since Week 9 of 2021 against Denver.
Dak Prescott completed 34 of 54 passes for 258 yards, managing only 4.8 yards per attempt with two interceptions. It marked the first time since Week 3 of 2018 versus Seattle that he fell below 5 yards per attempt with multiple turnovers. Both picks came on throws to CeeDee Lamb, who along with George Pickens accounted for 15 of Prescott's 29 completions.
The Cowboys gained just 48 yards on 15 carries, the fifth time in six contests they failed to reach 100 yards rushing. Coach Brian Schottenheimer said the unit has become somewhat one-dimensional due to the absence of a ground attack.
Prescott faced pressure on 21 of 41 second-half drop backs and took a rib hit from Zaire Franklin, though no additional testing was required. Dallas has never reached the postseason in the Super Bowl era after starting 2-4. Left tackle Tyler Smith is one of five returning Pro Bowl starters from 2025, joining Prescott, Lamb, Pickens and Jake Ferguson.
