The Dallas Cowboys have appeared incompetent on the offensive side of the ball several times in 2015 with quarterback Tony Romo sidelined due to injury. That trend continued Sunday afternoon in Green Bay, as for the fifth time in the last nine games, the Cowboys failed to score more than one touchdown in a game. The Matt Cassel-led offense mustered only two drives longer than 20 yards on Sunday, and those drives were buoyed by explosive runs from running backs Darren McFadden and Robert Turbin.

The Cowboys defense kept the team in the game after looking like it would be overmatched on the first few Green Bay drives. But after the offense failed to sustain anything, the defense had played 60 plays in three quarters. Its will was finally broken in the fourth quarter, as Green Bay mounted a 12-play, 84-yard drive to extend the lead to 21-7 before pushing it even further to the final score of 28-7 on the following possession.
