The Packers are motivated after their Week 5 rivalry win, but they know a demanding matchup awaits against the Cowboys, according to the NFL.

This is a preview: the Week 6 game has not been played. The supplied NFL report does not state the game’s date.

Green Bay’s defense faces a new challenge

Green Bay’s secondary played well in Week 5, with safety Xavier McKinney recording two interceptions as the Packers forced five takeaways. The NFL report said linebacker Micah Parsons was nearing a return, but did not confirm that he would play against Dallas.

The Cowboys are coming off a home loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who had been winless, according to the report. McKinney said he expected Dallas to be motivated after that result, while adding that Green Bay was motivated as well.

Dallas brings an explosive offense

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur described the Cowboys’ offense as high-powered and said it could generate substantial points and yardage. Green Bay will need to contain that attack after its strong defensive showing in the previous week.

The NFL report noted that in the teams’ five most recent meetings, the winning team scored at least 31 points. It also said their meeting the previous season ended with both teams scoring 40.

NFC North pressure

The report said the Vikings were 5-0 and that the other NFC North teams were trying to keep pace. It framed the Dallas game as an important opportunity for Green Bay, while noting that quarterback Jordan Love would be expected to sustain his Week 5 production.
