"Aaron Rodgers OWNS the Dallas Cowboys"

May 2024 · 5 minute read

When the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys met earlier today, Dak Prescott and company were supposed to defeat Aaron Rodgers and team handily, based off form alone.

The Dallas Cowboys came into this game with a 6-2 record. The Packers were having one of their worst seasons in recent memory and were down 3-6 heading into Week 10.

While the Cowboys were gunning for the playoffs, with the Minnesota Vikings playing as they are, the Packers looked well and truly out.

Everything pointed towards a blowout for the Dallas Cowboys. Alas, it was not meant to be for America's favorite team, as they succumbed to a Packers team that scored all of nine points against the Lions the week before.

NFL fans on Twitter were quick to remind the Cowboys of their struggles against Rodgers and the Packers and they did not hold back.

The first half of the game was even with both teams scoring a couple of touchdowns in the second quarter. That led them to a 14-14 score at halftime.

But when Dak Prescott led the Cowboys out in the second half and scored 14 unanswered points in the third quarter, the Packers seemed cooked. Aaron Rodgers, however, is still an all-time great and one should never count him out.

He led the fourth-quarter comeback with two touchdowns as the Packers rallied to level the game 28-28 at the end of regulation time.

Overtime commenced with Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys failing to score when it mattered the most. But Aaron Rodgers led the Packers to field goal territory, which they converted to get a 31-28 win.

Aaron Rodgers shines against the Cowboys again but Dak Prescott fails when it matters the most

The Dallas Cowboys seem to be the one thing that can perk Aaron Rodgers up even when he is going through his worst career slump.

He has played the Cowboys 10 times and won eight of those matchups in his career. He has thrown 19 touchdowns and just two interceptions in those games.

In his last seven games, he is 6-1 against the Dallas Cowboys.

On the other hand, Dak Prescott had the chance to showcase his mettle today and failed.

With a 4th-and-4 in overtime, Mike McCarthy elected to go for another first down instead of trying for a long field goal that had a chance of being missed. On a crucial play, Dak Prescott needed to make it count.

Instead, he threw an incompletion that gave the Green Bay Packers a great field position to go for the game-winning field goal.
