Packers Overcome Third-Down Struggles to Beat Cowboys 23-13

Green Bay ended their night with a 23-13 win over Dallas, fueled by Matthew Golden's 9-yard touchdown catch and 104 total receiving yards.

The Green Bay Packers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 23-13 on Sunday night, improving their third-down efficiency by converting nine of their first 10 attempts. Matthew Golden led the Packers' receiving corps with 104 yards on six catches, including a 9-yard touchdown reception during the opening drive. Green Bay entered the contest as the league's least successful third-down offense at 27.6% but capitalized on a Dallas defense that allowed conversions at a 52.6% rate.

Defensively, the Packers recorded two first-half interceptions by Evan Williams and rookie Brandon Cisse. Cisse’s first career pick occurred after Dallas receiver CeeDee Lamb slipped on the turf. The Cowboys' offense struggled as Dak Prescott was intercepted twice in the first half, marking the first time he had thrown two picks in an opening half since the 2022 season. Despite the loss, the Dallas defense recorded three sacks, including one from former Packer Kenny Clark.

In other Week 6 action, the Buffalo Bills won a 33-30 shootout against the Las Vegas Raiders.
