Packers vs. Cowboys: Five key matchups

1. Micah Hyde vs. Jason Witten – There’s no way to know until game time whether the Packers will employ primarily Hyde, Morgan Burnett, Clay Matthews or some other defender on Witten, but he must be a major focus for the defense. Witten is the Cowboys’ leading receiver by far (60 catches, 553 yards) and is at least as big a security blanket for backup QB Matt Cassel as he’s been over the years for starter Tony Romo.

2. Richard Rodgers vs. Barry Church – The Packers’ tight end is coming off of his breakout game, posting seven catches for 101 yards before the Hail Mary grab in Detroit.
