4 most concerning games on the Cowboys 2022 schedule
2. Dallas Cowboys @ Green Bay Packers
This is one you’ll want to get the popcorn for. Not only are these two NFC teams with storied franchises and incredible histories, but this game is going back to Lambeau Field for the first time since 2016. For what it’s worth, the Cowboys won the last matchup that happened in Wisconsin. But a lot has happened since then.
As of Wednesday, we actually know when this matchup will be. The NFL revealed that these two teams will play each other in Week 10 on November 13. That likely means Green Bay will be the frozen tundra it’s known to be, and the Cowboys will need to be prepared. However, the cold weather, for once, is one of the least notable parts of this matchup.
These two teams have a rivaled history. From the Ice Bowl days in 1967 that saw Vince Lombardi’s Packers beat Tom Landry’s Cowboys to the heartbreaking divisional-round playoff loss in 2017 thanks to an epic Jared Cook toe-drag catch to one of the most controversial catches/non-catches in NFL history from Dez Bryant in 2015, these two teams seem to set off fireworks when they play each other.

Now, there’s a whole new element. Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy will be making his first trip back to Green Bay since the team fired him four years ago. McCarthy led the pack to six NFC North titles and a Super Bowl win in his 13 seasons. This matchup will bring big pressure for the Dallas head coach.
The Packers lead this all-time series 20-17, but with a storied rivalry like this, you never know what’s going to happen. It will be a Sunday afternoon game to remember.
