Packers look to build on Hail Mary win
Offense stilllooking forconsistency By Paul ImigFor Green amp Gold Express
Therersquos no question-ing the type of positiveenergy that can be cre-ated for an NFL team af-ter winning a game on abig play For the GreenBay Packers the on-fieldcelebration that followedtheir successful Hail Maryplay in Detroit was a feel-good moment for a groupof players that had beenexperiencing more downsthan ups since the start ofNovember
That victory over theLions was obviously im-portant for Green Bayrsquos
playoff positioning Hadthe Packers lost theyrsquod belooking up at Minnesotain the NFC North stand-ings and wouldrsquove beenone more loss away frompotentially being out ofthe postseason picture al-together Instead GreenBayrsquos win along with the
Vikingsrsquo Week 13 loss hasthe Packers in position to
win the d ivision and host a wild-card round game
But all of the momen-tum will be for naught ifGreen Bay doesnrsquot use itto put together a good runin the final four games ofthe regular season Thatimportant stretch begins
with a matchup Sundayafternoon against a con-founding Dallas Cowboysteam
On one hand the Cow-
boys are 4-8 a clear indica-tion that theyrsquore simply nota good team Dallas hadbeen 0-8 in games with-out Tony Romo startingbefore finally winning thispast weekend with a dif-ferent quarterback (MattCassel) Still somehow ina season in which the NFCEast is the worst division
in football the Cowboysare just one game back inthe standings
Whereas in previous years it would be highlyunlikely that any 4-8 teamcould come into Lam-beau Field when therersquosa healthy Aaron Rodgersand leave with a win thePackers are on a rare two-
game home losing streakIt would stand to reasonthat if the then-1-7 Lionscould win in Green Bayand if the 4-6 Bears coulddo so on a night when BrettFavrersquos number is retiredand Bart Starr is in thebuilding then surely anyteam has a chance to beatthe Packers right now
ldquoItrsquos been a couple homelosses in a rowrdquo Rodgerssaid ldquoDisappointing Thisis a big game for us hellip Alot of stuff is in front of usWe control our own fateright now and it starts
with a win this weekendrdquoDespite the win in De-

troit itrsquod be difficult to argue that Green
Bayrsquos offense is back on track One of thePackersrsquo touchdowns in that game was offa James Starks fumble that was recoveredin the end zone by Randall Cobb another
was on a long quarterback scramble andthe other was a miraculous low-percent-age 61-yard heave Those type of playsdonrsquot often translate into long-term sus-tained success

Jordy Nelsonrsquos absence has been prime-suspect No 1 for why Green Bayrsquos offenseisnrsquot what fans have come to expect Alsonear the top of the list has been the changein offensive play-callers with Mike McCar-thy surrendering that job responsibility toTom Clements after last season
Itrsquos not that the Packersrsquo offense hasbeen quiet for all 60 minutes i n every gamesince their Week 7 bye During this recentstretch in which Green Bay has a 2-4 re-cord Rodgers led the offense to 22 second-half points in Carolina and 27 second-halfpoints in Detroit But in both of thosegames and in several others those scor-ing outbursts have been accompanied bynumerous unproductive drives
ldquoIf you look at the last six seven gamesfor us wersquove had a lot of really good halvesand not really any consistent full gamesrdquoRodgers said ldquoWe have to find a way to putthat together Whatever that means sche-matically execution-wise We have to findthat rhythm that wersquove had at times where
wersquove been able to go up and down the fieldfor all four quarters and thatrsquos what itrsquosgoing to take to be the team that we need
to berdquoDallas for all of its offensive woes with-out Romo has been a strong defensiveteam The Cowboys rank fifth in yards al-lowed and 15th in points allowed
In order to truly seize the momentumthey earned last Thursday night in Detroitthe Packers cannot let Dallas get in their
way in what should be a very winnablegame
ldquoEach of these games is so importantfor seeding and for the divisionrdquo Rodgerssaid ldquoWersquore going to have to fight and clawto get into this thing and all these games
are going to be very important to achievingthat first goalrdquo

Keys to the Game Packers vs CowboysBy Green amp Gold Express Staff
The Green Bay Packers (8-4) are seven-
point favorites for Sundayrsquos game againstthe Dallas Cowboys (4-8) at Lambeau FieldHerersquos the breakdown
When the Packers have the ballThe only thing consistent about the Pack-
ersrsquo offense has been inconsistency Not evena 27-point second half at Detroit which waspunctuated by the game-winning Hail Maryfrom Aaron Rodgers to Richard Rodgers cansugarcoat the offensive deciencies
In the passing game theyrsquove been unableto overcome the season-ending knee injurysuffered by wide receiver Jordy Nelson In
the running game Eddie Lacyrsquos season hasswung from one extreme to the other
ldquoThis year as opposed to some of theother years I think wersquore continuing to workon our identity throughout the yearrdquo AaronRodgers said ldquoA lot of that unfortunately isdue to an injury to a key player (Nelson) inthe preseason Wersquove been trying to nd thatbalance on offense and guys to pick up theslack Wersquove had a lot of injuries at our skillpositions that have made it tough to get thatconsistency every week Wersquove got to get ourguys backrdquo
The Cowboysrsquo season on the other handhas been saved by their defense That unit
which smothered Kirk Cousins and the Red-skins on Monday night ranks fth in totaldefense and fth against the pass DeMarcus
Lawrence and Greg Hardy form an excellenttandem of defensive ends Hardy who missed15 games last season and the rst four gamesof this season due to a 2014 domestic-abusecase has 45 sacks and 16 quarterback hitsin eight games Hersquoll go up against left tackleDavid Bakhtiari who has played well for thepast several weeks despite ongoing issues
with a knee injured during the preseasonOutside linebacker Sean Lee who missed allof last season with a torn ACL ranks eighth inthe league with 94 tackles
ldquoI think hersquos a great playerrdquo Rodgers saidof Lee ldquoHersquos played at a high level for a long
time Hersquos had a couple unfortunate injuriesbut hersquos a guy yoursquove got to gure out wherehersquos at on every playrdquo
In the secondary Brandon Carr and Mor-ris Claiborne are the cornerbacks with ByronJones playing in the slot Claiborne (2012) andJones (2015) are rst-round picks They havecombined for zero interceptions
When the Cowboys have the ballWith Pro Bowl quarterback Tony Romo
suffering a broken collarbone in Week 2 andagain on Thanksgiving Dallas has gone from
Romo to Brandon Weeden to Matt Cassel toRomo and back to Cassel The Cowboys had
gone 0-7 without Romo in the starting lineupuntil Monday nightrsquos win over WashingtonCassel who is 33 and entered the league
in 2005 owns a career record of 35-42 Thisseason he has completed 617 percent of hispasses with ve touchdowns ve intercep-tions and a 790 rating
ldquoItrsquos such a critical positionrdquo Dallas coachJason Garrett said ldquoWhen you lose him hav-ing a capable backup that you can go to itrsquoshard to expect him to play at the same levelas your starter but the ability to function andhelp you win ball games is criticalrdquo
With Romo this would have been one ofthe best offenses in the league Dez Bryantis an elite receiver ageless Jason Witten re-mains an excellent tight end Terrance Wil-
liams is a big-play threat as the No 2 receiverand Cole Beasley is a productive player in theslot Plus the offensive line is a powerhouseBut without Romo Dallas ranks 29th with 186points per game
Last season Bryant led the NFL with 16touchdown catches This season he missedve games with a broken foot and has just 26receptions for 342 yards and two touchdownsIt will be interesting to see how the Packerstry to defend Bryant Sam Shields matchedup on Detroitrsquos Calvin Johnson last week and
yielded only three receptions for 44 yards and
a touchdown in eight targeted passesThe offense isnrsquot suffering only from the
injuries to Romo and Bryant Last seasonDeMarco Murray led the NFL in rushing byalmost 500 yards Dallas let him go to NFC
East-rival Philadelphia In his place Dar-ren McFadden has a team-high 687 rushing
yards Hersquos a home-run hitter his 38-yard av-erage notwithstanding
Special teamsThe Cowboys have a strong special teams
starting with kicker Dan Bailey Hersquos made 25of 26 attempts this season including his 54-
yard game-winner at Washington last weekIn four seasons hersquos made 10 game-winningkicks in the nal 2 minutes of regulation orovertime Punter Chris Jones ranks sixth
with a 422-yard net average Kickoff returnerLucky Whitehead who set up the Baileyrsquos
winning kick last week is averaging 357 yardsper kickoff return
CoachingPackers coach Mike McCarthy is seeking
his 110th victory (including playoffs) Hersquos 2-0against Garrett including last yearrsquos 26-21
victory in a divisional playoff game at Lam-beau Field Garrett who is 46-40 in his fthseason spent more than a decade as a quar-terback for the Cowboys among other teamsOn Thanksgiving 1994 he completed 15 of 26
passes for 311 yards and two touchdowns asDallas beat Green Bay 42-31

Romo injury similar to Rodgersrsquo
Mike McCarthy canrsquot feel Tony Romorsquospain in a literal sense but he surely can feelJason Garrettrsquos pain in a gurative way
In 2013 McCarthyrsquos Green Bay Packers were in the midst of a four-game winningstreak when quarterback Aaron Rodgerssustained a broken collarbone during theopening series of the home game vs Chi-cago Green Bay lost that game part of a2-5-1 swoon with Rodgers on the sidelineand Seneca Wallace Scott Tolzien andMatt Flynn trying to ll his shoes
In 2015 Romo suffered a broken col-
larbone during the Week 2 game vs Phila-delphia Garrettrsquos Cowboys won that gameto improve to 2-0 but lost their next sevengames with Brandon Weeden and MattCassel at quarterback a skid stopped
when Romo returned to beat Miami Thefollowing week on Thanksgiving vs Caro-lina Romo broke the collarbone again
ldquoWhen you lose your quarterback on of-fense itrsquos the biggest challengerdquo McCarthysaid ldquoI mean the quarterback position obvi-ously is the most important position on thefootball eld So it does make you adjustchange and go in some different directions
Itrsquos a big challenge when you lose your start-errdquo
Itrsquos a challenge Garrett understandsDallas won at Washington last week withCassel at quarterback meaning itrsquos 3-1 ingames started by Romo and 1-7 in gamesstarted by someone else Fortunately forthe Cowboys they reside in the NFC Eastso they enter Sundayrsquos game at LambeauField just one game out of rst place
Lacy gets another chance After back-to-back 100-yard games the
arrow seemed to be pointed straight up forPackers running back Eddie Lacy head-ing into last weekrsquos game at Detroit Lacyhowever played just 19 snaps and nished
with 1 yard of total offense after missing
curfew the night beforeMcCarthy said ldquoEverything Eddie
wants to accomplish is right there in frontof himrdquo Rodgers had Lacyrsquos back tooknowing full well that a productive Lacygives the Packers their best chance atsuccess In 11 regular-season and playoffgames played in December and JanuaryLacy has rushed for at least 97 yards vetimes and scored a total of nine touch-downs
ldquoWithout a doubt we have a condencein Eddierdquo Rodgers said ldquoWersquove had a lot
of backs around here over the years whohave been great cold-weather backs Ryan
Grant for years was a better runner inNovember December and January thanhe was in the rst couple of months ofthe season Eddie is the same way Hersquos atough guy to tackle Hersquos a bowling ball outthere Hersquos a smart guy Hersquos a good run-ner Hersquos very agile for a guy his size and
wersquore going to need him to play for us andbe consistentrdquo
Turnovers are the differenceLast year Dallas ranked third in the
NFL with 31 takeaways mdash a major reason why it won the NFC East and reached thedivisional round of the playoffs This yearDallas has a league-low eight takeaways
and a league-worst minus-14 turnover ra-tio Green Bay meanwhile has a league-low nine giveaways and is a fth-rankedplus-six in turnovers
Witten catching history Last week Dallas tight end Jason Wit-
ten became the 12th player in NFL history with 1000 receptions Tony Gonzalez isthe only other tight end to reach that mile-stone On Sunday Witten will play in his200th consecutive game The 13th-year pro
is still going strong ranking third amongtight ends with 60 receptions this season
ldquoThis gamersquos about consistent play at ahigh level and doing it week in and weekoutrdquo he said ldquoBeing out there is the startof it Irsquove had a lot of breaks worked reallyhard had a lot of guys that helped me alongthe way from the strength staff to thecoaches and trainers Irsquove been fortunateto be healthy and be able to be out thererdquo
Happiest time of the year Since McCarthy took over in 2006 the
Packers are 27-12 in December the fourth-best mark in the league during that span
At home Green Bay is 17-3 with wins in 13of its last 14
ldquoItrsquos December football I think the
whole league recognizes thatrdquo McCarthysaid ldquoEverybodyrsquos playing for somethingEverybody has an idea of what they needto get done to get to where they want to goDallas is going to be on high alert high ur-gency Wersquore going to be on high alert highurgency on this Itrsquoll be a hell of a footballgame This is what you want This is whatthe fans obviously live for This is big-timefootball Football is different this time of

What goes around comes around for Packers at best possible time Apparently the karma
department of the NFL is
subject to an audit evenduring midseason
How else to describeone of the most improbablesecond-half comebacks inhistory of the franchise
After weeks of droppedpasses missed eld goalsand breathless comebacksthat fell just short thereeling Green Bay Pack-ersrsquo season might havebeen saved last week inone amazing unbelievable
sequenceRichard Rodgersrsquo
leaping catch of the 61- yard last-play Hail Marypass from Aaron Rodg-ers capped off the nearlyimpossible comeback inthe Packersrsquo 27-23 winover Detroit in a game in
which they had trailed by20 points were gettingoutplayed and appeared tohave less than zero chance
of winningIt was as close to steal-
ing a game as a team can
come without charges be-ing brought
After spotting the Lionsa 17-0 rst-quarter leadthat grew to 20-0 midwaythrough the third pe-riod the Packersrsquo defensetightened long enough toallow the offense to awakefrom its nagging slumberCredit the entire unit forthat effort but lay a hugegold star on cornerback
Sam Shields for his per-formance against Calvin
Johnson Shields blanketedthe Lionsrsquo All-Pro widereceiver holding him to ameager three catches for44 yards
Other individual stand-outs included RichardRodgers who in his bestgame as a pro caught alleight balls thrown his wayfor 146 yards including thegame-winner
It doesnrsquot take muchimagination to know what
the Packers were lookingat without the miracle n-ish Another loss to Detroit
would have left them at7-5 losers of ve of theirlast six and marinating inself-doubt
As it sits the revivedrst-place Packers are8-4 in excellent position tolock up a playoff spot andfeeling a sense of poetic
justice
The incredible nal playbegan with 000 left on the
clock a situation madepossible because a face-mask penalty was calledon Detroit on the previousplay which was one ofthose desperation multi-ple-lateral rugby-looking
jobs made famous in theearly 1980s by StanfordCalifornia and a attenedtrombone player
Critics today whiningabout an NFL conspiracyto favor the higher-prole
franchises insist that notonly did the refs ldquomissrdquothe facemask call on AaronRodgers but also failed tocall holding on tackle DavidBakhtiari on the nal playas well as an offensive passinterference in the endzone on James Jones
To those folks the Pack-ers would humbly suggestDeal with it
It wasnrsquot long ago that
the Packers were victim-ized by a horrendous
ofcialsrsquo call that gavethe Seattle Seahawks alast-second victory on theinfamous ldquoFail Maryrdquo passin the end zone
The Packers were over-due for some good jujuand it began with just lessthan six minutes left in thethird quarter when JamesStarksrsquo fumble trickledinto the path of team-mate Randall Cobb whofell on the ball in the end
zone The score snappeda scoring drought of morethan 69 minutes for thePackers whose last pointscame in the rst half of aThanksgiving night loss toChicago
On the following rstplay from scrimmagePackers linebacker JuliusPeppers got to Lions quar-terback Matthew Staffordfor a strip-sack that forced
a turnover Three playslater Davante Adams had
his rst TD reception of the year and the Packers wereback in the game at 20-14
A Detroit eld goal anda touchdown on a 17-yardscamper by Aaron Rodgershad made it a 23-21 gamein the Lions favor by thetime the Packers got theball back with no time outsleft and what seemed likea light year away from eldgoal range
Thus the stage was set
for some magic that is like-ly to be replayed on variousoutlets for oh maybe a fewthousand times or so
As Aaron Rodgers put itldquoYou live for days like thisrdquo
Or this corollarymdash dayslike this give you life

Packers look to build on Hail Mary win
Offense stilllooking forconsistency By Paul ImigFor Green amp Gold Express
Therersquos no question-ing the type of positiveenergy that can be cre-ated for an NFL team af-ter winning a game on abig play For the GreenBay Packers the on-fieldcelebration that followedtheir successful Hail Maryplay in Detroit was a feel-good moment for a groupof players that had beenexperiencing more downsthan ups since the start ofNovember
That victory over theLions was obviously im-portant for Green Bayrsquos
playoff positioning Hadthe Packers lost theyrsquod belooking up at Minnesotain the NFC North stand-ings and wouldrsquove beenone more loss away frompotentially being out ofthe postseason picture al-together Instead GreenBayrsquos win along with the
Vikingsrsquo Week 13 loss hasthe Packers in position to
win the d ivision and host a wild-card round game
But all of the momen-tum will be for naught ifGreen Bay doesnrsquot use itto put together a good runin the final four games ofthe regular season Thatimportant stretch begins
with a matchup Sundayafternoon against a con-founding Dallas Cowboysteam
On one hand the Cow-
boys are 4-8 a clear indica-tion that theyrsquore simply nota good team Dallas hadbeen 0-8 in games with-out Tony Romo startingbefore finally winning thispast weekend with a dif-ferent quarterback (MattCassel) Still somehow ina season in which the NFCEast is the worst division
in football the Cowboysare just one game back inthe standings
Whereas in previous years it would be highlyunlikely that any 4-8 teamcould come into Lam-beau Field when therersquosa healthy Aaron Rodgersand leave with a win thePackers are on a rare two-
game home losing streakIt would stand to reasonthat if the then-1-7 Lionscould win in Green Bayand if the 4-6 Bears coulddo so on a night when BrettFavrersquos number is retiredand Bart Starr is in thebuilding then surely anyteam has a chance to beatthe Packers right now
ldquoItrsquos been a couple homelosses in a rowrdquo Rodgerssaid ldquoDisappointing Thisis a big game for us hellip Alot of stuff is in front of usWe control our own fateright now and it starts
with a win this weekendrdquoDespite the win in De-

troit itrsquod be difficult to argue that Green
Bayrsquos offense is back on track One of thePackersrsquo touchdowns in that game was offa James Starks fumble that was recoveredin the end zone by Randall Cobb another
was on a long quarterback scramble andthe other was a miraculous low-percent-age 61-yard heave Those type of playsdonrsquot often translate into long-term sus-tained success
Green Bay ranks 22nd in the league intotal yards and is 12th in scoring Thatrsquosa far cry from the 2014 season when thePackers led the NFL in points and weresixth in yardage
Jordy Nelsonrsquos absence has been prime-suspect No 1 for why Green Bayrsquos offenseisnrsquot what fans have come to expect Alsonear the top of the list has been the changein offensive play-callers with Mike McCar-thy surrendering that job responsibility toTom Clements after last season
Itrsquos not that the Packersrsquo offense hasbeen quiet for all 60 minutes i n every gamesince their Week 7 bye During this recentstretch in which Green Bay has a 2-4 re-cord Rodgers led the offense to 22 second-half points in Carolina and 27 second-halfpoints in Detroit But in both of thosegames and in several others those scor-ing outbursts have been accompanied bynumerous unproductive drives
ldquoIf you look at the last six seven gamesfor us wersquove had a lot of really good halvesand not really any consistent full gamesrdquoRodgers said ldquoWe have to find a way to putthat together Whatever that means sche-matically execution-wise We have to findthat rhythm that wersquove had at times where
wersquove been able to go up and down the fieldfor all four quarters and thatrsquos what itrsquosgoing to take to be the team that we need
to berdquoDallas for all of its offensive woes with-out Romo has been a strong defensiveteam The Cowboys rank fifth in yards al-lowed and 15th in points allowed
In order to truly seize the momentumthey earned last Thursday night in Detroitthe Packers cannot let Dallas get in their
way in what should be a very winnablegame
ldquoEach of these games is so importantfor seeding and for the divisionrdquo Rodgerssaid ldquoWersquore going to have to fight and clawto get into this thing and all these games
are going to be very important to achievingthat first goalrdquo

Keys to the Game Packers vs CowboysBy Green amp Gold Express Staff
The Green Bay Packers (8-4) are seven-
point favorites for Sundayrsquos game againstthe Dallas Cowboys (4-8) at Lambeau FieldHerersquos the breakdown
When the Packers have the ballThe only thing consistent about the Pack-
ersrsquo offense has been inconsistency Not evena 27-point second half at Detroit which waspunctuated by the game-winning Hail Maryfrom Aaron Rodgers to Richard Rodgers cansugarcoat the offensive deciencies
In the passing game theyrsquove been unableto overcome the season-ending knee injurysuffered by wide receiver Jordy Nelson In
the running game Eddie Lacyrsquos season hasswung from one extreme to the other
ldquoThis year as opposed to some of theother years I think wersquore continuing to workon our identity throughout the yearrdquo AaronRodgers said ldquoA lot of that unfortunately isdue to an injury to a key player (Nelson) inthe preseason Wersquove been trying to nd thatbalance on offense and guys to pick up theslack Wersquove had a lot of injuries at our skillpositions that have made it tough to get thatconsistency every week Wersquove got to get ourguys backrdquo
The Cowboysrsquo season on the other handhas been saved by their defense That unit
which smothered Kirk Cousins and the Red-skins on Monday night ranks fth in totaldefense and fth against the pass DeMarcus
Lawrence and Greg Hardy form an excellenttandem of defensive ends Hardy who missed15 games last season and the rst four gamesof this season due to a 2014 domestic-abusecase has 45 sacks and 16 quarterback hitsin eight games Hersquoll go up against left tackleDavid Bakhtiari who has played well for thepast several weeks despite ongoing issues
with a knee injured during the preseasonOutside linebacker Sean Lee who missed allof last season with a torn ACL ranks eighth inthe league with 94 tackles
ldquoI think hersquos a great playerrdquo Rodgers saidof Lee ldquoHersquos played at a high level for a long
time Hersquos had a couple unfortunate injuriesbut hersquos a guy yoursquove got to gure out wherehersquos at on every playrdquo
In the secondary Brandon Carr and Mor-ris Claiborne are the cornerbacks with ByronJones playing in the slot Claiborne (2012) andJones (2015) are rst-round picks They havecombined for zero interceptions
When the Cowboys have the ballWith Pro Bowl quarterback Tony Romo
suffering a broken collarbone in Week 2 andagain on Thanksgiving Dallas has gone from
Romo to Brandon Weeden to Matt Cassel toRomo and back to Cassel The Cowboys had
gone 0-7 without Romo in the starting lineupuntil Monday nightrsquos win over WashingtonCassel who is 33 and entered the league
in 2005 owns a career record of 35-42 Thisseason he has completed 617 percent of hispasses with ve touchdowns ve intercep-tions and a 790 rating
ldquoItrsquos such a critical positionrdquo Dallas coachJason Garrett said ldquoWhen you lose him hav-ing a capable backup that you can go to itrsquoshard to expect him to play at the same levelas your starter but the ability to function andhelp you win ball games is criticalrdquo
With Romo this would have been one ofthe best offenses in the league Dez Bryantis an elite receiver ageless Jason Witten re-mains an excellent tight end Terrance Wil-
liams is a big-play threat as the No 2 receiverand Cole Beasley is a productive player in theslot Plus the offensive line is a powerhouseBut without Romo Dallas ranks 29th with 186points per game
Last season Bryant led the NFL with 16touchdown catches This season he missedve games with a broken foot and has just 26receptions for 342 yards and two touchdownsIt will be interesting to see how the Packerstry to defend Bryant Sam Shields matchedup on Detroitrsquos Calvin Johnson last week and
yielded only three receptions for 44 yards and
a touchdown in eight targeted passesThe offense isnrsquot suffering only from the
injuries to Romo and Bryant Last seasonDeMarco Murray led the NFL in rushing byalmost 500 yards Dallas let him go to NFC
East-rival Philadelphia In his place Dar-ren McFadden has a team-high 687 rushing
yards Hersquos a home-run hitter his 38-yard av-erage notwithstanding
Special teamsThe Cowboys have a strong special teams
starting with kicker Dan Bailey Hersquos made 25of 26 attempts this season including his 54-
yard game-winner at Washington last weekIn four seasons hersquos made 10 game-winningkicks in the nal 2 minutes of regulation orovertime Punter Chris Jones ranks sixth
with a 422-yard net average Kickoff returnerLucky Whitehead who set up the Baileyrsquos
winning kick last week is averaging 357 yardsper kickoff return
CoachingPackers coach Mike McCarthy is seeking
his 110th victory (including playoffs) Hersquos 2-0against Garrett including last yearrsquos 26-21
victory in a divisional playoff game at Lam-beau Field Garrett who is 46-40 in his fthseason spent more than a decade as a quar-terback for the Cowboys among other teamsOn Thanksgiving 1994 he completed 15 of 26
passes for 311 yards and two touchdowns asDallas beat Green Bay 42-31

Romo injury similar to Rodgersrsquo
Mike McCarthy canrsquot feel Tony Romorsquospain in a literal sense but he surely can feelJason Garrettrsquos pain in a gurative way
In 2013 McCarthyrsquos Green Bay Packers were in the midst of a four-game winningstreak when quarterback Aaron Rodgerssustained a broken collarbone during theopening series of the home game vs Chi-cago Green Bay lost that game part of a2-5-1 swoon with Rodgers on the sidelineand Seneca Wallace Scott Tolzien andMatt Flynn trying to ll his shoes
In 2015 Romo suffered a broken col-
larbone during the Week 2 game vs Phila-delphia Garrettrsquos Cowboys won that gameto improve to 2-0 but lost their next sevengames with Brandon Weeden and MattCassel at quarterback a skid stopped
when Romo returned to beat Miami Thefollowing week on Thanksgiving vs Caro-lina Romo broke the collarbone again
ldquoWhen you lose your quarterback on of-fense itrsquos the biggest challengerdquo McCarthysaid ldquoI mean the quarterback position obvi-ously is the most important position on thefootball eld So it does make you adjustchange and go in some different directions
Itrsquos a big challenge when you lose your start-errdquo
Itrsquos a challenge Garrett understandsDallas won at Washington last week withCassel at quarterback meaning itrsquos 3-1 ingames started by Romo and 1-7 in gamesstarted by someone else Fortunately forthe Cowboys they reside in the NFC Eastso they enter Sundayrsquos game at LambeauField just one game out of rst place
Lacy gets another chance After back-to-back 100-yard games the
arrow seemed to be pointed straight up forPackers running back Eddie Lacy head-ing into last weekrsquos game at Detroit Lacyhowever played just 19 snaps and nished
with 1 yard of total offense after missing
curfew the night beforeMcCarthy said ldquoEverything Eddie
wants to accomplish is right there in frontof himrdquo Rodgers had Lacyrsquos back tooknowing full well that a productive Lacygives the Packers their best chance atsuccess In 11 regular-season and playoffgames played in December and JanuaryLacy has rushed for at least 97 yards vetimes and scored a total of nine touch-downs
ldquoWithout a doubt we have a condencein Eddierdquo Rodgers said ldquoWersquove had a lot
of backs around here over the years whohave been great cold-weather backs Ryan
Grant for years was a better runner inNovember December and January thanhe was in the rst couple of months ofthe season Eddie is the same way Hersquos atough guy to tackle Hersquos a bowling ball outthere Hersquos a smart guy Hersquos a good run-ner Hersquos very agile for a guy his size and
wersquore going to need him to play for us andbe consistentrdquo
Turnovers are the differenceLast year Dallas ranked third in the
NFL with 31 takeaways mdash a major reason why it won the NFC East and reached thedivisional round of the playoffs This yearDallas has a league-low eight takeaways
and a league-worst minus-14 turnover ra-tio Green Bay meanwhile has a league-low nine giveaways and is a fth-rankedplus-six in turnovers
Witten catching history Last week Dallas tight end Jason Wit-
ten became the 12th player in NFL history with 1000 receptions Tony Gonzalez isthe only other tight end to reach that mile-stone On Sunday Witten will play in his200th consecutive game The 13th-year pro
is still going strong ranking third amongtight ends with 60 receptions this season
ldquoThis gamersquos about consistent play at ahigh level and doing it week in and weekoutrdquo he said ldquoBeing out there is the startof it Irsquove had a lot of breaks worked reallyhard had a lot of guys that helped me alongthe way from the strength staff to thecoaches and trainers Irsquove been fortunateto be healthy and be able to be out thererdquo
Happiest time of the year Since McCarthy took over in 2006 the
Packers are 27-12 in December the fourth-best mark in the league during that span
At home Green Bay is 17-3 with wins in 13of its last 14
ldquoItrsquos December football I think the

What goes around comes around for Packers at best possible time Apparently the karma
department of the NFL is
subject to an audit evenduring midseason
How else to describeone of the most improbablesecond-half comebacks inhistory of the franchise
After weeks of droppedpasses missed eld goalsand breathless comebacksthat fell just short thereeling Green Bay Pack-ersrsquo season might havebeen saved last week inone amazing unbelievable
sequenceRichard Rodgersrsquo
leaping catch of the 61- yard last-play Hail Marypass from Aaron Rodg-ers capped off the nearlyimpossible comeback inthe Packersrsquo 27-23 winover Detroit in a game in
which they had trailed by20 points were gettingoutplayed and appeared tohave less than zero chance
of winningIt was as close to steal-
ing a game as a team can
come without charges be-ing brought
After spotting the Lionsa 17-0 rst-quarter leadthat grew to 20-0 midwaythrough the third pe-riod the Packersrsquo defensetightened long enough toallow the offense to awakefrom its nagging slumberCredit the entire unit forthat effort but lay a hugegold star on cornerback
Sam Shields for his per-formance against Calvin
Johnson Shields blanketedthe Lionsrsquo All-Pro widereceiver holding him to ameager three catches for44 yards
Other individual stand-outs included RichardRodgers who in his bestgame as a pro caught alleight balls thrown his wayfor 146 yards including thegame-winner
It doesnrsquot take muchimagination to know what
the Packers were lookingat without the miracle n-ish Another loss to Detroit
would have left them at7-5 losers of ve of theirlast six and marinating inself-doubt
As it sits the revivedrst-place Packers are8-4 in excellent position tolock up a playoff spot andfeeling a sense of poetic
justice
The incredible nal playbegan with 000 left on the
clock a situation madepossible because a face-mask penalty was calledon Detroit on the previousplay which was one ofthose desperation multi-ple-lateral rugby-looking
jobs made famous in theearly 1980s by StanfordCalifornia and a attenedtrombone player
Critics today whiningabout an NFL conspiracyto favor the higher-prole
franchises insist that notonly did the refs ldquomissrdquothe facemask call on AaronRodgers but also failed tocall holding on tackle DavidBakhtiari on the nal playas well as an offensive passinterference in the endzone on James Jones
To those folks the Pack-ers would humbly suggestDeal with it
It wasnrsquot long ago that
the Packers were victim-ized by a horrendous
ofcialsrsquo call that gavethe Seattle Seahawks alast-second victory on theinfamous ldquoFail Maryrdquo passin the end zone
The Packers were over-due for some good jujuand it began with just lessthan six minutes left in thethird quarter when JamesStarksrsquo fumble trickledinto the path of team-mate Randall Cobb whofell on the ball in the end
zone The score snappeda scoring drought of morethan 69 minutes for thePackers whose last pointscame in the rst half of aThanksgiving night loss toChicago
On the following rstplay from scrimmagePackers linebacker JuliusPeppers got to Lions quar-terback Matthew Staffordfor a strip-sack that forced
a turnover Three playslater Davante Adams had
his rst TD reception of the year and the Packers wereback in the game at 20-14
A Detroit eld goal anda touchdown on a 17-yardscamper by Aaron Rodgershad made it a 23-21 gamein the Lions favor by thetime the Packers got theball back with no time outsleft and what seemed likea light year away from eldgoal range
Thus the stage was set
for some magic that is like-ly to be replayed on variousoutlets for oh maybe a fewthousand times or so
As Aaron Rodgers put itldquoYou live for days like thisrdquo
Or this corollarymdash dayslike this give you life

32 Cleveland Browns(Record 2-10 PreviousRank 32)
Poor Tramon Williamshaving to deal with the messin Cleveland A 37-3 home lossto Cincinnati has prompted
the Browns to once again letJohnny Manziel start
troit itrsquod be difficult to argue that Green
Bayrsquos offense is back on track One of thePackersrsquo touchdowns in that game was offa James Starks fumble that was recoveredin the end zone by Randall Cobb another
was on a long quarterback scramble andthe other was a miraculous low-percent-age 61-yard heave Those type of playsdonrsquot often translate into long-term sus-tained success
Green Bay ranks 22nd in the league intotal yards and is 12th in scoring Thatrsquosa far cry from the 2014 season when thePackers led the NFL in points and weresixth in yardage
Jordy Nelsonrsquos absence has been prime-suspect No 1 for why Green Bayrsquos offenseisnrsquot what fans have come to expect Alsonear the top of the list has been the changein offensive play-callers with Mike McCar-thy surrendering that job responsibility toTom Clements after last season
Itrsquos not that the Packersrsquo offense hasbeen quiet for all 60 minutes i n every gamesince their Week 7 bye During this recentstretch in which Green Bay has a 2-4 re-cord Rodgers led the offense to 22 second-half points in Carolina and 27 second-halfpoints in Detroit But in both of thosegames and in several others those scor-ing outbursts have been accompanied bynumerous unproductive drives
ldquoIf you look at the last six seven gamesfor us wersquove had a lot of really good halvesand not really any consistent full gamesrdquoRodgers said ldquoWe have to find a way to putthat together Whatever that means sche-matically execution-wise We have to findthat rhythm that wersquove had at times where
wersquove been able to go up and down the fieldfor all four quarters and thatrsquos what itrsquosgoing to take to be the team that we need
to berdquoDallas for all of its offensive woes with-out Romo has been a strong defensiveteam The Cowboys rank fifth in yards al-lowed and 15th in points allowed
In order to truly seize the momentumthey earned last Thursday night in Detroitthe Packers cannot let Dallas get in their
way in what should be a very winnablegame
ldquoEach of these games is so importantfor seeding and for the divisionrdquo Rodgerssaid ldquoWersquore going to have to fight and clawto get into this thing and all these games
are going to be very important to achievingthat first goalrdquo

Keys to the Game Packers vs CowboysBy Green amp Gold Express Staff
The Green Bay Packers (8-4) are seven-
point favorites for Sundayrsquos game againstthe Dallas Cowboys (4-8) at Lambeau FieldHerersquos the breakdown
When the Packers have the ballThe only thing consistent about the Pack-
ersrsquo offense has been inconsistency Not evena 27-point second half at Detroit which waspunctuated by the game-winning Hail Maryfrom Aaron Rodgers to Richard Rodgers cansugarcoat the offensive deciencies
In the passing game theyrsquove been unableto overcome the season-ending knee injurysuffered by wide receiver Jordy Nelson In
the running game Eddie Lacyrsquos season hasswung from one extreme to the other
ldquoThis year as opposed to some of theother years I think wersquore continuing to workon our identity throughout the yearrdquo AaronRodgers said ldquoA lot of that unfortunately isdue to an injury to a key player (Nelson) inthe preseason Wersquove been trying to nd thatbalance on offense and guys to pick up theslack Wersquove had a lot of injuries at our skillpositions that have made it tough to get thatconsistency every week Wersquove got to get ourguys backrdquo
The Cowboysrsquo season on the other handhas been saved by their defense That unit
which smothered Kirk Cousins and the Red-skins on Monday night ranks fth in totaldefense and fth against the pass DeMarcus
Lawrence and Greg Hardy form an excellenttandem of defensive ends Hardy who missed15 games last season and the rst four gamesof this season due to a 2014 domestic-abusecase has 45 sacks and 16 quarterback hitsin eight games Hersquoll go up against left tackleDavid Bakhtiari who has played well for thepast several weeks despite ongoing issues
with a knee injured during the preseasonOutside linebacker Sean Lee who missed allof last season with a torn ACL ranks eighth inthe league with 94 tackles
ldquoI think hersquos a great playerrdquo Rodgers saidof Lee ldquoHersquos played at a high level for a long
time Hersquos had a couple unfortunate injuriesbut hersquos a guy yoursquove got to gure out wherehersquos at on every playrdquo
In the secondary Brandon Carr and Mor-ris Claiborne are the cornerbacks with ByronJones playing in the slot Claiborne (2012) andJones (2015) are rst-round picks They havecombined for zero interceptions
When the Cowboys have the ballWith Pro Bowl quarterback Tony Romo
suffering a broken collarbone in Week 2 andagain on Thanksgiving Dallas has gone from
Romo to Brandon Weeden to Matt Cassel toRomo and back to Cassel The Cowboys had
gone 0-7 without Romo in the starting lineupuntil Monday nightrsquos win over WashingtonCassel who is 33 and entered the league
in 2005 owns a career record of 35-42 Thisseason he has completed 617 percent of hispasses with ve touchdowns ve intercep-tions and a 790 rating
ldquoItrsquos such a critical positionrdquo Dallas coachJason Garrett said ldquoWhen you lose him hav-ing a capable backup that you can go to itrsquoshard to expect him to play at the same levelas your starter but the ability to function andhelp you win ball games is criticalrdquo
With Romo this would have been one ofthe best offenses in the league Dez Bryantis an elite receiver ageless Jason Witten re-mains an excellent tight end Terrance Wil-
liams is a big-play threat as the No 2 receiverand Cole Beasley is a productive player in theslot Plus the offensive line is a powerhouseBut without Romo Dallas ranks 29th with 186points per game
Last season Bryant led the NFL with 16touchdown catches This season he missedve games with a broken foot and has just 26receptions for 342 yards and two touchdownsIt will be interesting to see how the Packerstry to defend Bryant Sam Shields matchedup on Detroitrsquos Calvin Johnson last week and
yielded only three receptions for 44 yards and
a touchdown in eight targeted passesThe offense isnrsquot suffering only from the
injuries to Romo and Bryant Last seasonDeMarco Murray led the NFL in rushing byalmost 500 yards Dallas let him go to NFC
East-rival Philadelphia In his place Dar-ren McFadden has a team-high 687 rushing
yards Hersquos a home-run hitter his 38-yard av-erage notwithstanding
Special teamsThe Cowboys have a strong special teams
starting with kicker Dan Bailey Hersquos made 25of 26 attempts this season including his 54-
yard game-winner at Washington last weekIn four seasons hersquos made 10 game-winningkicks in the nal 2 minutes of regulation orovertime Punter Chris Jones ranks sixth
with a 422-yard net average Kickoff returnerLucky Whitehead who set up the Baileyrsquos
winning kick last week is averaging 357 yardsper kickoff return
CoachingPackers coach Mike McCarthy is seeking
his 110th victory (including playoffs) Hersquos 2-0against Garrett including last yearrsquos 26-21
victory in a divisional playoff game at Lam-beau Field Garrett who is 46-40 in his fthseason spent more than a decade as a quar-terback for the Cowboys among other teamsOn Thanksgiving 1994 he completed 15 of 26
passes for 311 yards and two touchdowns asDallas beat Green Bay 42-31

Romo injury similar to Rodgersrsquo
Mike McCarthy canrsquot feel Tony Romorsquospain in a literal sense but he surely can feelJason Garrettrsquos pain in a gurative way
In 2013 McCarthyrsquos Green Bay Packers were in the midst of a four-game winningstreak when quarterback Aaron Rodgerssustained a broken collarbone during theopening series of the home game vs Chi-cago Green Bay lost that game part of a2-5-1 swoon with Rodgers on the sidelineand Seneca Wallace Scott Tolzien andMatt Flynn trying to ll his shoes
In 2015 Romo suffered a broken col-
larbone during the Week 2 game vs Phila-delphia Garrettrsquos Cowboys won that gameto improve to 2-0 but lost their next sevengames with Brandon Weeden and MattCassel at quarterback a skid stopped
when Romo returned to beat Miami Thefollowing week on Thanksgiving vs Caro-lina Romo broke the collarbone again
ldquoWhen you lose your quarterback on of-fense itrsquos the biggest challengerdquo McCarthysaid ldquoI mean the quarterback position obvi-ously is the most important position on thefootball eld So it does make you adjustchange and go in some different directions
Itrsquos a big challenge when you lose your start-errdquo
Itrsquos a challenge Garrett understandsDallas won at Washington last week withCassel at quarterback meaning itrsquos 3-1 ingames started by Romo and 1-7 in gamesstarted by someone else Fortunately forthe Cowboys they reside in the NFC Eastso they enter Sundayrsquos game at LambeauField just one game out of rst place
Lacy gets another chance After back-to-back 100-yard games the
arrow seemed to be pointed straight up forPackers running back Eddie Lacy head-ing into last weekrsquos game at Detroit Lacyhowever played just 19 snaps and nished
with 1 yard of total offense after missing
curfew the night beforeMcCarthy said ldquoEverything Eddie
wants to accomplish is right there in frontof himrdquo Rodgers had Lacyrsquos back tooknowing full well that a productive Lacygives the Packers their best chance atsuccess In 11 regular-season and playoffgames played in December and JanuaryLacy has rushed for at least 97 yards vetimes and scored a total of nine touch-downs
ldquoWithout a doubt we have a condencein Eddierdquo Rodgers said ldquoWersquove had a lot
of backs around here over the years whohave been great cold-weather backs Ryan
Grant for years was a better runner inNovember December and January thanhe was in the rst couple of months ofthe season Eddie is the same way Hersquos atough guy to tackle Hersquos a bowling ball outthere Hersquos a smart guy Hersquos a good run-ner Hersquos very agile for a guy his size and
wersquore going to need him to play for us andbe consistentrdquo
Turnovers are the differenceLast year Dallas ranked third in the
NFL with 31 takeaways mdash a major reason why it won the NFC East and reached thedivisional round of the playoffs This yearDallas has a league-low eight takeaways
and a league-worst minus-14 turnover ra-tio Green Bay meanwhile has a league-low nine giveaways and is a fth-rankedplus-six in turnovers
Witten catching history Last week Dallas tight end Jason Wit-
ten became the 12th player in NFL history with 1000 receptions Tony Gonzalez isthe only other tight end to reach that mile-stone On Sunday Witten will play in his200th consecutive game The 13th-year pro
is still going strong ranking third amongtight ends with 60 receptions this season
ldquoThis gamersquos about consistent play at ahigh level and doing it week in and weekoutrdquo he said ldquoBeing out there is the startof it Irsquove had a lot of breaks worked reallyhard had a lot of guys that helped me alongthe way from the strength staff to thecoaches and trainers Irsquove been fortunateto be healthy and be able to be out thererdquo
Happiest time of the year Since McCarthy took over in 2006 the
Packers are 27-12 in December the fourth-best mark in the league during that span
At home Green Bay is 17-3 with wins in 13of its last 14
ldquoItrsquos December football I think the
whole league recognizes thatrdquo McCarthysaid ldquoEverybodyrsquos playing for somethingEverybody has an idea of what they needto get done to get to where they want to goDallas is going to be on high alert high ur-gency Wersquore going to be on high alert highurgency on this Itrsquoll be a hell of a footballgame This is what you want This is whatthe fans obviously live for This is big-timefootball Football is different this time of
year letrsquos be honest Itrsquos not as clean as you might like it early in the year and nowitrsquos time to put your best foot forward be-
cause you have to play your best football inDecemberrdquo

What goes around comes around for Packers at best possible time Apparently the karma
department of the NFL is
subject to an audit evenduring midseason
How else to describeone of the most improbablesecond-half comebacks inhistory of the franchise
After weeks of droppedpasses missed eld goalsand breathless comebacksthat fell just short thereeling Green Bay Pack-ersrsquo season might havebeen saved last week inone amazing unbelievable
sequenceRichard Rodgersrsquo
leaping catch of the 61- yard last-play Hail Marypass from Aaron Rodg-ers capped off the nearlyimpossible comeback inthe Packersrsquo 27-23 winover Detroit in a game in
which they had trailed by20 points were gettingoutplayed and appeared tohave less than zero chance
of winningIt was as close to steal-
ing a game as a team can
come without charges be-ing brought
After spotting the Lionsa 17-0 rst-quarter leadthat grew to 20-0 midwaythrough the third pe-riod the Packersrsquo defensetightened long enough toallow the offense to awakefrom its nagging slumberCredit the entire unit forthat effort but lay a hugegold star on cornerback
Sam Shields for his per-formance against Calvin
Johnson Shields blanketedthe Lionsrsquo All-Pro widereceiver holding him to ameager three catches for44 yards
Other individual stand-outs included RichardRodgers who in his bestgame as a pro caught alleight balls thrown his wayfor 146 yards including thegame-winner
It doesnrsquot take muchimagination to know what
the Packers were lookingat without the miracle n-ish Another loss to Detroit
would have left them at7-5 losers of ve of theirlast six and marinating inself-doubt
As it sits the revivedrst-place Packers are8-4 in excellent position tolock up a playoff spot andfeeling a sense of poetic
justice
The incredible nal playbegan with 000 left on the
clock a situation madepossible because a face-mask penalty was calledon Detroit on the previousplay which was one ofthose desperation multi-ple-lateral rugby-looking
jobs made famous in theearly 1980s by StanfordCalifornia and a attenedtrombone player
Critics today whiningabout an NFL conspiracyto favor the higher-prole
franchises insist that notonly did the refs ldquomissrdquothe facemask call on AaronRodgers but also failed tocall holding on tackle DavidBakhtiari on the nal playas well as an offensive passinterference in the endzone on James Jones
To those folks the Pack-ers would humbly suggestDeal with it
It wasnrsquot long ago that
the Packers were victim-ized by a horrendous
ofcialsrsquo call that gavethe Seattle Seahawks alast-second victory on theinfamous ldquoFail Maryrdquo passin the end zone
The Packers were over-due for some good jujuand it began with just lessthan six minutes left in thethird quarter when JamesStarksrsquo fumble trickledinto the path of team-mate Randall Cobb whofell on the ball in the end
zone The score snappeda scoring drought of morethan 69 minutes for thePackers whose last pointscame in the rst half of aThanksgiving night loss toChicago
On the following rstplay from scrimmagePackers linebacker JuliusPeppers got to Lions quar-terback Matthew Staffordfor a strip-sack that forced
a turnover Three playslater Davante Adams had
his rst TD reception of the year and the Packers wereback in the game at 20-14
A Detroit eld goal anda touchdown on a 17-yardscamper by Aaron Rodgershad made it a 23-21 gamein the Lions favor by thetime the Packers got theball back with no time outsleft and what seemed likea light year away from eldgoal range
Thus the stage was set
for some magic that is like-ly to be replayed on variousoutlets for oh maybe a fewthousand times or so
As Aaron Rodgers put itldquoYou live for days like thisrdquo
Or this corollarymdash dayslike this give you life

Keys to the Game Packers vs CowboysBy Green amp Gold Express Staff
The Green Bay Packers (8-4) are seven-
point favorites for Sundayrsquos game againstthe Dallas Cowboys (4-8) at Lambeau FieldHerersquos the breakdown
When the Packers have the ballThe only thing consistent about the Pack-
ersrsquo offense has been inconsistency Not evena 27-point second half at Detroit which waspunctuated by the game-winning Hail Maryfrom Aaron Rodgers to Richard Rodgers cansugarcoat the offensive deciencies
In the passing game theyrsquove been unableto overcome the season-ending knee injurysuffered by wide receiver Jordy Nelson In
the running game Eddie Lacyrsquos season hasswung from one extreme to the other
ldquoThis year as opposed to some of theother years I think wersquore continuing to workon our identity throughout the yearrdquo AaronRodgers said ldquoA lot of that unfortunately isdue to an injury to a key player (Nelson) inthe preseason Wersquove been trying to nd thatbalance on offense and guys to pick up theslack Wersquove had a lot of injuries at our skillpositions that have made it tough to get thatconsistency every week Wersquove got to get ourguys backrdquo
The Cowboysrsquo season on the other handhas been saved by their defense That unit
which smothered Kirk Cousins and the Red-skins on Monday night ranks fth in totaldefense and fth against the pass DeMarcus
Lawrence and Greg Hardy form an excellenttandem of defensive ends Hardy who missed15 games last season and the rst four gamesof this season due to a 2014 domestic-abusecase has 45 sacks and 16 quarterback hitsin eight games Hersquoll go up against left tackleDavid Bakhtiari who has played well for thepast several weeks despite ongoing issues
with a knee injured during the preseasonOutside linebacker Sean Lee who missed allof last season with a torn ACL ranks eighth inthe league with 94 tackles
ldquoI think hersquos a great playerrdquo Rodgers saidof Lee ldquoHersquos played at a high level for a long
time Hersquos had a couple unfortunate injuriesbut hersquos a guy yoursquove got to gure out wherehersquos at on every playrdquo
In the secondary Brandon Carr and Mor-ris Claiborne are the cornerbacks with ByronJones playing in the slot Claiborne (2012) andJones (2015) are rst-round picks They havecombined for zero interceptions
When the Cowboys have the ballWith Pro Bowl quarterback Tony Romo
suffering a broken collarbone in Week 2 andagain on Thanksgiving Dallas has gone from
Romo to Brandon Weeden to Matt Cassel toRomo and back to Cassel The Cowboys had
gone 0-7 without Romo in the starting lineupuntil Monday nightrsquos win over WashingtonCassel who is 33 and entered the league
in 2005 owns a career record of 35-42 Thisseason he has completed 617 percent of hispasses with ve touchdowns ve intercep-tions and a 790 rating
ldquoItrsquos such a critical positionrdquo Dallas coachJason Garrett said ldquoWhen you lose him hav-ing a capable backup that you can go to itrsquoshard to expect him to play at the same levelas your starter but the ability to function andhelp you win ball games is criticalrdquo
With Romo this would have been one ofthe best offenses in the league Dez Bryantis an elite receiver ageless Jason Witten re-mains an excellent tight end Terrance Wil-
liams is a big-play threat as the No 2 receiverand Cole Beasley is a productive player in theslot Plus the offensive line is a powerhouseBut without Romo Dallas ranks 29th with 186points per game
Last season Bryant led the NFL with 16touchdown catches This season he missedve games with a broken foot and has just 26receptions for 342 yards and two touchdownsIt will be interesting to see how the Packerstry to defend Bryant Sam Shields matchedup on Detroitrsquos Calvin Johnson last week and
yielded only three receptions for 44 yards and
a touchdown in eight targeted passesThe offense isnrsquot suffering only from the
injuries to Romo and Bryant Last seasonDeMarco Murray led the NFL in rushing byalmost 500 yards Dallas let him go to NFC
East-rival Philadelphia In his place Dar-ren McFadden has a team-high 687 rushing
yards Hersquos a home-run hitter his 38-yard av-erage notwithstanding

Romo injury similar to Rodgersrsquo
Mike McCarthy canrsquot feel Tony Romorsquospain in a literal sense but he surely can feelJason Garrettrsquos pain in a gurative way
In 2013 McCarthyrsquos Green Bay Packers were in the midst of a four-game winningstreak when quarterback Aaron Rodgerssustained a broken collarbone during theopening series of the home game vs Chi-cago Green Bay lost that game part of a2-5-1 swoon with Rodgers on the sidelineand Seneca Wallace Scott Tolzien andMatt Flynn trying to ll his shoes
In 2015 Romo suffered a broken col-
larbone during the Week 2 game vs Phila-delphia Garrettrsquos Cowboys won that gameto improve to 2-0 but lost their next sevengames with Brandon Weeden and MattCassel at quarterback a skid stopped
when Romo returned to beat Miami Thefollowing week on Thanksgiving vs Caro-lina Romo broke the collarbone again
ldquoWhen you lose your quarterback on of-fense itrsquos the biggest challengerdquo McCarthysaid ldquoI mean the quarterback position obvi-ously is the most important position on thefootball eld So it does make you adjustchange and go in some different directions
Itrsquos a big challenge when you lose your start-errdquo
Itrsquos a challenge Garrett understandsDallas won at Washington last week withCassel at quarterback meaning itrsquos 3-1 ingames started by Romo and 1-7 in gamesstarted by someone else Fortunately forthe Cowboys they reside in the NFC Eastso they enter Sundayrsquos game at LambeauField just one game out of rst place
Lacy gets another chance After back-to-back 100-yard games the
arrow seemed to be pointed straight up forPackers running back Eddie Lacy head-ing into last weekrsquos game at Detroit Lacyhowever played just 19 snaps and nished
with 1 yard of total offense after missing
curfew the night beforeMcCarthy said ldquoEverything Eddie
wants to accomplish is right there in frontof himrdquo Rodgers had Lacyrsquos back tooknowing full well that a productive Lacygives the Packers their best chance atsuccess In 11 regular-season and playoffgames played in December and JanuaryLacy has rushed for at least 97 yards vetimes and scored a total of nine touch-downs
ldquoWithout a doubt we have a condencein Eddierdquo Rodgers said ldquoWersquove had a lot
of backs around here over the years whohave been great cold-weather backs Ryan
Grant for years was a better runner inNovember December and January thanhe was in the rst couple of months ofthe season Eddie is the same way Hersquos atough guy to tackle Hersquos a bowling ball outthere Hersquos a smart guy Hersquos a good run-ner Hersquos very agile for a guy his size and
wersquore going to need him to play for us andbe consistentrdquo
Turnovers are the differenceLast year Dallas ranked third in the
NFL with 31 takeaways mdash a major reason why it won the NFC East and reached thedivisional round of the playoffs This yearDallas has a league-low eight takeaways
and a league-worst minus-14 turnover ra-tio Green Bay meanwhile has a league-low nine giveaways and is a fth-rankedplus-six in turnovers
Witten catching history Last week Dallas tight end Jason Wit-
ten became the 12th player in NFL history with 1000 receptions Tony Gonzalez isthe only other tight end to reach that mile-stone On Sunday Witten will play in his200th consecutive game The 13th-year pro
is still going strong ranking third amongtight ends with 60 receptions this season
ldquoThis gamersquos about consistent play at ahigh level and doing it week in and weekoutrdquo he said ldquoBeing out there is the startof it Irsquove had a lot of breaks worked reallyhard had a lot of guys that helped me alongthe way from the strength staff to thecoaches and trainers Irsquove been fortunateto be healthy and be able to be out thererdquo
Happiest time of the year Since McCarthy took over in 2006 the
Packers are 27-12 in December the fourth-best mark in the league during that span
At home Green Bay is 17-3 with wins in 13of its last 14
ldquoItrsquos December football I think the
whole league recognizes thatrdquo McCarthysaid ldquoEverybodyrsquos playing for somethingEverybody has an idea of what they needto get done to get to where they want to goDallas is going to be on high alert high ur-gency Wersquore going to be on high alert highurgency on this Itrsquoll be a hell of a footballgame This is what you want This is whatthe fans obviously live for This is big-timefootball Football is different this time of
year letrsquos be honest Itrsquos not as clean as you might like it early in the year and nowitrsquos time to put your best foot forward be-
cause you have to play your best football inDecemberrdquo

What goes around comes around for Packers at best possible time Apparently the karma
department of the NFL is
subject to an audit evenduring midseason
How else to describeone of the most improbablesecond-half comebacks inhistory of the franchise
After weeks of droppedpasses missed eld goalsand breathless comebacksthat fell just short thereeling Green Bay Pack-ersrsquo season might havebeen saved last week inone amazing unbelievable
sequenceRichard Rodgersrsquo
leaping catch of the 61- yard last-play Hail Marypass from Aaron Rodg-ers capped off the nearlyimpossible comeback inthe Packersrsquo 27-23 winover Detroit in a game in
which they had trailed by20 points were gettingoutplayed and appeared tohave less than zero chance
of winningIt was as close to steal-
ing a game as a team can
come without charges be-ing brought
After spotting the Lionsa 17-0 rst-quarter leadthat grew to 20-0 midwaythrough the third pe-riod the Packersrsquo defensetightened long enough toallow the offense to awakefrom its nagging slumberCredit the entire unit forthat effort but lay a hugegold star on cornerback
Sam Shields for his per-formance against Calvin
Johnson Shields blanketedthe Lionsrsquo All-Pro widereceiver holding him to ameager three catches for44 yards
Other individual stand-outs included RichardRodgers who in his bestgame as a pro caught alleight balls thrown his wayfor 146 yards including thegame-winner
It doesnrsquot take muchimagination to know what
the Packers were lookingat without the miracle n-ish Another loss to Detroit
would have left them at7-5 losers of ve of theirlast six and marinating inself-doubt
As it sits the revivedrst-place Packers are8-4 in excellent position tolock up a playoff spot andfeeling a sense of poetic
justice
The incredible nal playbegan with 000 left on the
clock a situation madepossible because a face-mask penalty was calledon Detroit on the previousplay which was one ofthose desperation multi-ple-lateral rugby-looking
jobs made famous in theearly 1980s by StanfordCalifornia and a attenedtrombone player
Critics today whiningabout an NFL conspiracyto favor the higher-prole
franchises insist that notonly did the refs ldquomissrdquothe facemask call on AaronRodgers but also failed tocall holding on tackle DavidBakhtiari on the nal playas well as an offensive passinterference in the endzone on James Jones
To those folks the Pack-ers would humbly suggestDeal with it
It wasnrsquot long ago that
the Packers were victim-ized by a horrendous
ofcialsrsquo call that gavethe Seattle Seahawks alast-second victory on theinfamous ldquoFail Maryrdquo passin the end zone
The Packers were over-due for some good jujuand it began with just lessthan six minutes left in thethird quarter when JamesStarksrsquo fumble trickledinto the path of team-mate Randall Cobb whofell on the ball in the end
zone The score snappeda scoring drought of morethan 69 minutes for thePackers whose last pointscame in the rst half of aThanksgiving night loss toChicago
On the following rstplay from scrimmagePackers linebacker JuliusPeppers got to Lions quar-terback Matthew Staffordfor a strip-sack that forced
a turnover Three playslater Davante Adams had
his rst TD reception of the year and the Packers wereback in the game at 20-14
A Detroit eld goal anda touchdown on a 17-yardscamper by Aaron Rodgershad made it a 23-21 gamein the Lions favor by thetime the Packers got theball back with no time outsleft and what seemed likea light year away from eldgoal range
Thus the stage was set
for some magic that is like-ly to be replayed on variousoutlets for oh maybe a fewthousand times or so
As Aaron Rodgers put itldquoYou live for days like thisrdquo
Or this corollarymdash dayslike this give you life

By Green amp Gold Express Staff
Romo injury similar to Rodgersrsquo
Mike McCarthy canrsquot feel Tony Romorsquospain in a literal sense but he surely can feelJason Garrettrsquos pain in a gurative way
In 2013 McCarthyrsquos Green Bay Packers were in the midst of a four-game winningstreak when quarterback Aaron Rodgerssustained a broken collarbone during theopening series of the home game vs Chi-cago Green Bay lost that game part of a2-5-1 swoon with Rodgers on the sidelineand Seneca Wallace Scott Tolzien andMatt Flynn trying to ll his shoes
In 2015 Romo suffered a broken col-
larbone during the Week 2 game vs Phila-delphia Garrettrsquos Cowboys won that gameto improve to 2-0 but lost their next sevengames with Brandon Weeden and MattCassel at quarterback a skid stopped
when Romo returned to beat Miami Thefollowing week on Thanksgiving vs Caro-lina Romo broke the collarbone again
ldquoWhen you lose your quarterback on of-fense itrsquos the biggest challengerdquo McCarthysaid ldquoI mean the quarterback position obvi-ously is the most important position on thefootball eld So it does make you adjustchange and go in some different directions
Itrsquos a big challenge when you lose your start-errdquo
Itrsquos a challenge Garrett understandsDallas won at Washington last week withCassel at quarterback meaning itrsquos 3-1 ingames started by Romo and 1-7 in gamesstarted by someone else Fortunately forthe Cowboys they reside in the NFC Eastso they enter Sundayrsquos game at LambeauField just one game out of rst place
Lacy gets another chance After back-to-back 100-yard games the
arrow seemed to be pointed straight up forPackers running back Eddie Lacy head-ing into last weekrsquos game at Detroit Lacyhowever played just 19 snaps and nished
with 1 yard of total offense after missing
curfew the night beforeMcCarthy said ldquoEverything Eddie
wants to accomplish is right there in frontof himrdquo Rodgers had Lacyrsquos back tooknowing full well that a productive Lacygives the Packers their best chance atsuccess In 11 regular-season and playoffgames played in December and JanuaryLacy has rushed for at least 97 yards vetimes and scored a total of nine touch-downs
ldquoWithout a doubt we have a condencein Eddierdquo Rodgers said ldquoWersquove had a lot
of backs around here over the years whohave been great cold-weather backs Ryan
Grant for years was a better runner inNovember December and January thanhe was in the rst couple of months ofthe season Eddie is the same way Hersquos atough guy to tackle Hersquos a bowling ball outthere Hersquos a smart guy Hersquos a good run-ner Hersquos very agile for a guy his size and
wersquore going to need him to play for us andbe consistentrdquo
Turnovers are the differenceLast year Dallas ranked third in the
NFL with 31 takeaways mdash a major reason why it won the NFC East and reached thedivisional round of the playoffs This yearDallas has a league-low eight takeaways
and a league-worst minus-14 turnover ra-tio Green Bay meanwhile has a league-low nine giveaways and is a fth-rankedplus-six in turnovers
Witten catching history Last week Dallas tight end Jason Wit-
ten became the 12th player in NFL history with 1000 receptions Tony Gonzalez isthe only other tight end to reach that mile-stone On Sunday Witten will play in his200th consecutive game The 13th-year pro
is still going strong ranking third amongtight ends with 60 receptions this season
ldquoThis gamersquos about consistent play at ahigh level and doing it week in and weekoutrdquo he said ldquoBeing out there is the startof it Irsquove had a lot of breaks worked reallyhard had a lot of guys that helped me alongthe way from the strength staff to thecoaches and trainers Irsquove been fortunateto be healthy and be able to be out thererdquo
Happiest time of the year Since McCarthy took over in 2006 the
Packers are 27-12 in December the fourth-best mark in the league during that span
At home Green Bay is 17-3 with wins in 13of its last 14
ldquoItrsquos December football I think the
whole league recognizes thatrdquo McCarthysaid ldquoEverybodyrsquos playing for somethingEverybody has an idea of what they needto get done to get to where they want to goDallas is going to be on high alert high ur-gency Wersquore going to be on high alert highurgency on this Itrsquoll be a hell of a footballgame This is what you want This is whatthe fans obviously live for This is big-timefootball Football is different this time of
year letrsquos be honest Itrsquos not as clean as you might like it early in the year and nowitrsquos time to put your best foot forward be-
cause you have to play your best football inDecemberrdquo

What goes around comes around for Packers at best possible time Apparently the karma
department of the NFL is
subject to an audit evenduring midseason
How else to describeone of the most improbablesecond-half comebacks inhistory of the franchise
After weeks of droppedpasses missed eld goalsand breathless comebacksthat fell just short thereeling Green Bay Pack-ersrsquo season might havebeen saved last week inone amazing unbelievable
sequenceRichard Rodgersrsquo
leaping catch of the 61- yard last-play Hail Marypass from Aaron Rodg-ers capped off the nearlyimpossible comeback inthe Packersrsquo 27-23 winover Detroit in a game in
which they had trailed by20 points were gettingoutplayed and appeared tohave less than zero chance
of winningIt was as close to steal-
ing a game as a team can
come without charges be-ing brought
After spotting the Lionsa 17-0 rst-quarter leadthat grew to 20-0 midwaythrough the third pe-riod the Packersrsquo defensetightened long enough toallow the offense to awakefrom its nagging slumberCredit the entire unit forthat effort but lay a hugegold star on cornerback
Sam Shields for his per-formance against Calvin
Johnson Shields blanketedthe Lionsrsquo All-Pro widereceiver holding him to ameager three catches for44 yards
Other individual stand-outs included RichardRodgers who in his bestgame as a pro caught alleight balls thrown his wayfor 146 yards including thegame-winner
It doesnrsquot take muchimagination to know what
the Packers were lookingat without the miracle n-ish Another loss to Detroit
would have left them at7-5 losers of ve of theirlast six and marinating inself-doubt
As it sits the revivedrst-place Packers are8-4 in excellent position tolock up a playoff spot andfeeling a sense of poetic
justice
The incredible nal playbegan with 000 left on the
clock a situation madepossible because a face-mask penalty was calledon Detroit on the previousplay which was one ofthose desperation multi-ple-lateral rugby-looking
jobs made famous in theearly 1980s by StanfordCalifornia and a attenedtrombone player
Critics today whiningabout an NFL conspiracyto favor the higher-prole
franchises insist that notonly did the refs ldquomissrdquothe facemask call on AaronRodgers but also failed tocall holding on tackle DavidBakhtiari on the nal playas well as an offensive passinterference in the endzone on James Jones
To those folks the Pack-ers would humbly suggestDeal with it
It wasnrsquot long ago that
the Packers were victim-ized by a horrendous
ofcialsrsquo call that gavethe Seattle Seahawks alast-second victory on theinfamous ldquoFail Maryrdquo passin the end zone
The Packers were over-due for some good jujuand it began with just lessthan six minutes left in thethird quarter when JamesStarksrsquo fumble trickledinto the path of team-mate Randall Cobb whofell on the ball in the end
zone The score snappeda scoring drought of morethan 69 minutes for thePackers whose last pointscame in the rst half of aThanksgiving night loss toChicago
On the following rstplay from scrimmagePackers linebacker JuliusPeppers got to Lions quar-terback Matthew Staffordfor a strip-sack that forced
a turnover Three playslater Davante Adams had
his rst TD reception of the year and the Packers wereback in the game at 20-14
A Detroit eld goal anda touchdown on a 17-yardscamper by Aaron Rodgershad made it a 23-21 gamein the Lions favor by thetime the Packers got theball back with no time outsleft and what seemed likea light year away from eldgoal range
Thus the stage was set
for some magic that is like-ly to be replayed on variousoutlets for oh maybe a fewthousand times or so
As Aaron Rodgers put itldquoYou live for days like thisrdquo
Or this corollarymdash dayslike this give you life

What goes around comes around for Packers at best possible time Apparently the karma
department of the NFL is
subject to an audit evenduring midseason
How else to describeone of the most improbablesecond-half comebacks inhistory of the franchise
After weeks of droppedpasses missed eld goalsand breathless comebacksthat fell just short thereeling Green Bay Pack-ersrsquo season might havebeen saved last week inone amazing unbelievable
sequenceRichard Rodgersrsquo
leaping catch of the 61- yard last-play Hail Marypass from Aaron Rodg-ers capped off the nearlyimpossible comeback inthe Packersrsquo 27-23 winover Detroit in a game in
which they had trailed by20 points were gettingoutplayed and appeared tohave less than zero chance
of winningIt was as close to steal-
ing a game as a team can
come without charges be-ing brought
After spotting the Lionsa 17-0 rst-quarter leadthat grew to 20-0 midwaythrough the third pe-riod the Packersrsquo defensetightened long enough toallow the offense to awakefrom its nagging slumberCredit the entire unit forthat effort but lay a hugegold star on cornerback
Sam Shields for his per-formance against Calvin
Johnson Shields blanketedthe Lionsrsquo All-Pro widereceiver holding him to ameager three catches for44 yards
Other individual stand-outs included RichardRodgers who in his bestgame as a pro caught alleight balls thrown his wayfor 146 yards including thegame-winner
It doesnrsquot take muchimagination to know what
the Packers were lookingat without the miracle n-ish Another loss to Detroit
would have left them at7-5 losers of ve of theirlast six and marinating inself-doubt
As it sits the revivedrst-place Packers are8-4 in excellent position tolock up a playoff spot andfeeling a sense of poetic
justice
The incredible nal playbegan with 000 left on the
clock a situation madepossible because a face-mask penalty was calledon Detroit on the previousplay which was one ofthose desperation multi-ple-lateral rugby-looking
jobs made famous in theearly 1980s by StanfordCalifornia and a attenedtrombone player
Critics today whiningabout an NFL conspiracyto favor the higher-prole
franchises insist that notonly did the refs ldquomissrdquothe facemask call on AaronRodgers but also failed tocall holding on tackle DavidBakhtiari on the nal playas well as an offensive passinterference in the endzone on James Jones
To those folks the Pack-ers would humbly suggestDeal with it
It wasnrsquot long ago that
the Packers were victim-ized by a horrendous
ofcialsrsquo call that gavethe Seattle Seahawks alast-second victory on theinfamous ldquoFail Maryrdquo passin the end zone
The Packers were over-due for some good jujuand it began with just lessthan six minutes left in thethird quarter when JamesStarksrsquo fumble trickledinto the path of team-mate Randall Cobb whofell on the ball in the end
zone The score snappeda scoring drought of morethan 69 minutes for thePackers whose last pointscame in the rst half of aThanksgiving night loss toChicago
On the following rstplay from scrimmagePackers linebacker JuliusPeppers got to Lions quar-terback Matthew Staffordfor a strip-sack that forced
a turnover Three playslater Davante Adams had
his rst TD reception of the year and the Packers wereback in the game at 20-14
A Detroit eld goal anda touchdown on a 17-yardscamper by Aaron Rodgershad made it a 23-21 gamein the Lions favor by thetime the Packers got theball back with no time outsleft and what seemed likea light year away from eldgoal range
Thus the stage was set
for some magic that is like-ly to be replayed on variousoutlets for oh maybe a fewthousand times or so
As Aaron Rodgers put itldquoYou live for days like thisrdquo
Or this corollarymdash dayslike this give you life

What goes around comes around for Packers at best possible time Apparently the karma
department of the NFL is
subject to an audit evenduring midseason
How else to describeone of the most improbablesecond-half comebacks inhistory of the franchise
After weeks of droppedpasses missed eld goalsand breathless comebacksthat fell just short thereeling Green Bay Pack-ersrsquo season might havebeen saved last week inone amazing unbelievable
sequenceRichard Rodgersrsquo
leaping catch of the 61- yard last-play Hail Marypass from Aaron Rodg-ers capped off the nearlyimpossible comeback inthe Packersrsquo 27-23 winover Detroit in a game in
which they had trailed by20 points were gettingoutplayed and appeared tohave less than zero chance
of winningIt was as close to steal-
ing a game as a team can
come without charges be-ing brought
After spotting the Lionsa 17-0 rst-quarter leadthat grew to 20-0 midwaythrough the third pe-riod the Packersrsquo defensetightened long enough toallow the offense to awakefrom its nagging slumberCredit the entire unit forthat effort but lay a hugegold star on cornerback
Sam Shields for his per-formance against Calvin
Johnson Shields blanketedthe Lionsrsquo All-Pro widereceiver holding him to ameager three catches for44 yards
Other individual stand-outs included RichardRodgers who in his bestgame as a pro caught alleight balls thrown his wayfor 146 yards including thegame-winner
It doesnrsquot take muchimagination to know what
the Packers were lookingat without the miracle n-ish Another loss to Detroit
would have left them at7-5 losers of ve of theirlast six and marinating inself-doubt
As it sits the revivedrst-place Packers are8-4 in excellent position tolock up a playoff spot andfeeling a sense of poetic
justice
The incredible nal playbegan with 000 left on the
clock a situation madepossible because a face-mask penalty was calledon Detroit on the previousplay which was one ofthose desperation multi-ple-lateral rugby-looking
jobs made famous in theearly 1980s by StanfordCalifornia and a attenedtrombone player
Critics today whiningabout an NFL conspiracyto favor the higher-prole
franchises insist that notonly did the refs ldquomissrdquothe facemask call on AaronRodgers but also failed tocall holding on tackle DavidBakhtiari on the nal playas well as an offensive passinterference in the endzone on James Jones
To those folks the Pack-ers would humbly suggestDeal with it
It wasnrsquot long ago that
the Packers were victim-ized by a horrendous
ofcialsrsquo call that gavethe Seattle Seahawks alast-second victory on theinfamous ldquoFail Maryrdquo passin the end zone
The Packers were over-due for some good jujuand it began with just lessthan six minutes left in thethird quarter when JamesStarksrsquo fumble trickledinto the path of team-mate Randall Cobb whofell on the ball in the end
zone The score snappeda scoring drought of morethan 69 minutes for thePackers whose last pointscame in the rst half of aThanksgiving night loss toChicago
On the following rstplay from scrimmagePackers linebacker JuliusPeppers got to Lions quar-terback Matthew Staffordfor a strip-sack that forced
a turnover Three playslater Davante Adams had
his rst TD reception of the year and the Packers wereback in the game at 20-14
A Detroit eld goal anda touchdown on a 17-yardscamper by Aaron Rodgershad made it a 23-21 gamein the Lions favor by thetime the Packers got theball back with no time outsleft and what seemed likea light year away from eldgoal range
Thus the stage was set
for some magic that is like-ly to be replayed on variousoutlets for oh maybe a fewthousand times or so
As Aaron Rodgers put itldquoYou live for days like thisrdquo
Or this corollarymdash dayslike this give you life
