How the Green Bay Packers are looking

Green Bay enters the matchup with a 3-2 record and two consecutive wins. Their most recent performance was convincing, as they defeated the Chicago Bears 31-7, giving the team a confidence boost heading into its next game.

Quarterback Jordan Love has been a key part of the Packers' offense, leading their passing attack. Green Bay will look to maintain the production it has shown in recent games and take advantage of playing at Lambeau Field in front of its home crowd.

What the Dallas Cowboys need to turn their season around

Dallas comes in with a 2-3 record after falling 24-16 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The result once again highlighted one of the team's ongoing struggles: gaining yards has not always translated into enough points to finish games with a win.

With Dak Prescott leading the offense, the Cowboys have been able to move the ball, but they need to make better use of their opportunities in the red zone and execute consistently in crucial moments. Against Green Bay, turning those possessions into points could make a significant difference.

Another factor adding tension to the matchup is the history between the two franchises. Dallas has not beaten Green Bay since October 2016, making Sunday's game another opportunity to end that drought. Breaking the streak on the Packers' home turf will not be easy, but a victory would also give the Cowboys a much-needed boost in a season in which they need to make up ground.
