Heading into Week 6 of the NFL season, both the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers are looking to shake off underwhelming starts.
The Cowboys are 2-3 on the year following a disappointing loss last week, but a weak NFC East means the team still has plenty of hope to win the division. In order to turn the season around, though, Dallas needs to fix its defense, which has been among the worst in the league this year.
Meanwhile, the Packers are 3-2 after their best win of the season and appear on the upswing for the first time in 2026. Jordan Love was dominant against the Chicago Bears and could be in for an even bigger night for this home game against the Cowboys.
This NFC matchup could have an impact on the playoff picture, especially if they are both fighting for a wild-card spot.
