GREEN BAY, Wisc. – The Packers scored 14 points in both the second and fourth quarters to put the game away, using many timely runs by both Eddie Lacy and James Starks.
But like all games, there were a handful of plays that could go unnoticed, but yet changed the outcome.
Let’s take a closer look at five that affected this game.
McFadden stopped for early loss – Two plays after Darren McFadden busted out a season-long 50-yard run on the Cowboys’ opening series, he was back on the field for a first-and-goal from the Packers 2. However, he was stopped cold for a 1-yard loss, pushing the ball back to the 3, which made it more of a passing situation for the Cowboys. An incomplete pass on second down, followed by a forced interception by Matt Cassel on third down erased any chance to get even a field goal. If McFadden can get at least a yard or even back to the line of scrimmage, maybe the play-calling changes down there and even gets the team into four-down territory. His loss affected the next two calls.
