As Week 6 of the NFL season arrives, the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers are both eager to move past inconsistent beginnings. The Cowboys sit at 2-3 after a frustrating loss last week, yet the lackluster NFC East leaves them with a realistic path to the division title. To reverse their fortunes, Dallas must address a defense that ranks among the league's weakest this year.
Green Bay, meanwhile, is 3-2 and appears to be gaining momentum for the first time in 2026, following their most impressive victory of the season. Quarterback Jordan Love was dominant against the Chicago Bears and could deliver an even stronger performance in this home matchup with Dallas. This NFC clash could carry playoff implications, particularly if both teams end up competing for a wild-card berth.

The Packers and Cowboys will face off on Sunday Night Football, featuring two of the NFL's most prominent franchises. Last year, these teams played to a tie when they met on Sunday Night Football as well.
