Green Bay stops the Cowboys with defense



Every NFL talking head had the Cowboys Packers game pegged as a shootout. Most had Dallas winning because Green Bay's offensive line has not been able to protect Rodgers on a consistent basis.

Despite Rodgers lack of reliable protection he has shown he is an elite QB. Who would have thought this would be a defensive struggle?

Green Bay completely dismantled the Cowboys running game which placed the burden of winning squarely on the shoulders of none other than Tony Romo.

I'm still not sure why Romo was anointed the next great QB but what I see is a guy that requires a consistent running game and a Hall of Fame WR in order to be effective.

He looked great when he had TO at the top of his game but he looks pretty average minus TO now. The Green Bay defense decided that they stood a better chance against Romo so they took away the Cowboys run.

What should worry Cowboys fans is how easily Green Bay took the run away. People have already written Green Bay off but they are a strong contender for a wildcard and if they can run the ball like they did yesterday that is the best pass protection you can have for a QB.
