Except Dallas didn't exactly "run it down their throat" to open the first game. Dallas' opening drive consisted of 8 plays – four runs and four passes. The touchdown that concluded the drive was a pass to Beasley. Dak completed three of those first four passes, including the touchdown, which early on play Green Bay respect Dallas passing game as much is they do the running game. If Prescott had not been accurate early on, Green Bay would have been able to sell out against the run – seller to let the John it's Ted – until Dacy proved he could beat him with his arm.
That's going to be the key this week. Green Bay is going to focus on the run early, so it will be up to Linehan to not be afraid to throw the ball early and often. Once Dallas establishes the passing game, Green Bay will have no choice but to relax and respect to pass as much as they do the run. That was the key to Zeke having such a big game the first time these two teams minute, and it will be the key again.
