Meanwhile, Packers coach Mike McCarthy will spread the field with three- and four-receiver sets in his version of the West Coast passing game, exploiting matchups in the secondary and setting up RB Ryan Grant and the zone running game. [1]
Packers CB Tramon Williams was flagged for pass interference against WR Miles Austin in the fourth quarter, with Green Bay trailing 27-24. [2]
Cowboys coach Wade Phillips, his defensive coordinator Brian Stewart and Packers defensive coordinator Bob Sanders will have their hands full finding ways to contain these explosive attacks. [1]
The game marked the first time two teams with records of 10-1 or better faced off since the 10-1 New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers played on Dec. 3, 1990, and just the eighth time in NFL history. [2]
Meanwhile, Mike Sherman has found his calling, and the Green Bay Packers have rediscovered their rhythm. [3]
… With his 10-yard TD reception in the second quarter, Owens now has 14 on the season, eclipsing his total from 2006 and matching the Cowboys team record held by Frank Clarke. [...] Romo had another impressive Thursday, going 19 of 30 for 309 yards and four touchdowns. [...] Favre was replaced by third-year QB Aaron Rodgers on the ensuing posession and did not return. [2]
Key plays: Woodson’s sack of Romo and forced fumble was eventually recovered by Matthews at the Dallas 3-yard line. [4]
If the Cowboys truly believe he’s the guy then they need to get him out there because right now QB Vinny Testaverde isn’t the guy for the Cowboys. [3]

“The way we defend on our defense, he’s a big part of our game plan,” the coach said. [...] When the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys met in a much-hyped prime-time matchup last season, Aaron Rodgers wasn’t expected to play, but he turned in a strong performance in defeat after an injured Brett Favre left the game. [1]
News: Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware (foot) has been ruled as probable for Sunday’s game against the Packers, according to the Dallas Morning News. [5]
Sherman called the game with offensive coordinator Tom Rossley, still weak from heart surgery, offering advice from the coaches box. [3]
