GREEN BAY, Wis. — Mike McCarthy slammed his headset down. You could tell this game meant everything to him. The Cowboys wanted to bring home the win for their head coach in the “Mike McCarthy Revenge Game.”
Instead, the Cowboys’ defense fell apart and the offense couldn’t finish when it was needed and Aaron Rodgers was, well Aaron Rodgers. Green Bay knocked off Dallas, 31-28, in overtime on Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field.
The Packers’ five-game losing streak came to an end and maybe gave them some hope in the NFC playoff chase. The Cowboys remain in good shape at 6-3.
