GREEN BAY – The Packers watched the Dallas defense on Monday Night Football.
Then they watched the Cowboys’ best unit some more in the film room on Tuesday.
They couldn’t help but be impressed with a group that’s coming to Lambeau Field on Sunday tied for fifth in the league in yards allowed, and just outside the top 10 on third down.
“Very fast. Very fast defense,” Packers receiver James Jones said. “To be honest with you, their record doesn’t really say how good their defense is.”
That record is 4-8, but it’s a defense that just held division rival Washington to 266 total yards, keeping the Redskins out of the end zone until the game’s final minute.
