The time of possession was close.
The Green Bay Packers held a slight edge in time of possession, with 30:51, while the Dallas Cowboys had 29:09.
A lot of the struggles came down to efficiency and turnovers. While Dak Prescott did throw for 258 yards, he had to force the ball 54 times to get there, averaging just 4.8 yards per pass attempt.
Check-down Charlie helped none. The fear is real.
