The Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers kicked off on Micah Parsons Night and it was finally all about football. Dallas won the toss and deferred so it was Brandon Aubrey’s toe that met ball initially.

It looked exactly like it did both for Dallas last week in Chicago and when the Packers were most recently in the building. Jordan Love looked incredibly comfortable and went 5/5 on the possession to the tune of 74 yards and a touchdown pass to Romeo Doubs. Just like that they were up 7-0.

The Cowboys took over and may not have realized that a football game started. They ran it three straight times and did not come anywhere near the line to gain. Not to point fingers here, but it sure seemed like they were rather afraid of putting the offense in a passing situation for tons of obvious reasons.

After the Cowboys punted the Packers appeared to pick up right where they left off. Thanks to a holding penalty they were a bit behind though and on 3rd and 18 were only able to pick up 16 yards. Only!

Green Bay was technically on the Cowboys’ side of the 50 (just barely as they were at the 49) and lined up to go for it on fourth and two. Ultimately they elected not to and took a delay of game penalty before punting. It was strange.

The Cowboys picked up a first down after their second play, but after that stalled out a bit. They got down to fourth and one and made it seem like they were going to go for it, but ultimately they took a delay of game and punted back to the Packers.

Green Bay got to the Dallas 38-yard line before the quarter ended.
