Dallas Cowboys are style mismatch for overhyped Packers
By Brad Austin
COWBOYS FORCE OVERWHELMS PACKERS
The style match-ups will be the same as the October win in Green Bay.
If anything, the health of players sways more in favor of the Cowboys at home.
Packers’ star WR Jordy Nelson is likely out (or very limited), while Dez Bryant is healthy after missing the first meeting.
Veteran CB Orlando Scandrick will also be on hand for Dallas, unlike October.
On defense, Green Bay’s front is undersized and ripe for the Cowboys’ brute force.
Ezekiel Elliot didn’t gain 157 yards and 5.6 yards per carry last time by chance.
Once Dallas established the run, the defense was forced to cheat up for support.
Even without Dez Bryant, the extra run attention allowed Prescott to carve up the Packers’ secondary using multiple targets.
As for the Packers’ spread offense, Dallas can handle fast-paced spread attacks with multiple receivers much better than the Giants.
With the secondary finally intact and seven deep, the Cowboys are even better equipped for the Packers’ air raid than the first meeting.
They also have a deep rotation of DL rushers who keep coming in waves.
Rodgers will get his inflated yards, but in the red zone the Cowboys will stiffen just as they’ve done all year to limit TD’s.
