Both offenses in the Packers and Cowboys game were firing on all cylinders as Packers and Cowboys treated fans to a shootout that ended in a rare 40-40 tie.  Both teams traded big plays throughout the night, with explosive passing attacks and timely ground gains keeping the scoreboard busy.  Neither defense could find the answer to slow down the opposing quarterbacks, and when the final whistle blew in overtime the score remained locked.  While it wasn’t the outcome either side had hoped for, the game showcased the offensive firepower of both teams.

 

On the Packers side Jordan Love threw for season high 337-yards while tossing 3 touchdowns to go with it.  He finished as QB 6 on the week which is his highest finish so far this season.  Josh Jacobs led the team on the ground and also in the passing game.  On the ground he had 86 yards and two scores, while in caught 4 passes for 71 yards as well making him as the RB 2 this week.  This too is his highest finish, overall, he is currently RB 8 on the year heading into Packers bye week.  Romeo Doubs didn’t have just one, not two, but three touchdowns.  He had 6 catches for 58 yards, making him finish as WR 3 on the week.

 

Now, for the Cowboys the number 1 quarterback of the week belongs to Dak Prescott.  He passed for 319 yards with 3 scores, also had a 2-yard rushing touchdown too.  Reformed Javonte Williams led the team on the ground rushing for 85 yards and a score; he also caught his 3 targets for 15 yards too.  While Doubs was WR 3 on the week, Cowboys had a guy who finished ahead of him George Pickens seen 11 targets and caught 8 of them for 134 yards and two touchdowns.  He was WR 2 on the week, he stepped up for the Cowboys while star receiver Ceedee Lamb missed this week with an injury.

 

While the Packers are headed into their bye week we will have to wait to see them back on the field.  Meanwhile Cowboys head to New York to take on the Jets.
