Packers Week 5 Snap Counts: Lucas Patrick steps up, defense goes dime heavily

The Green Bay Packers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 34-24 on Sunday, improving to 4-1 in 2019. To get there, the Packers jumped out to a 31-3 lead in the third quarter, then allowed the Cowboys to gradually work their way back into a competitive game late.

During that period, the Packers were rolling out a lot of dime personnel, seemingly willing to give up the Cowboys gains underneath to avoid the big play. However, Dallas still found ways to attack the secondary deep, with a pair of long touchdowns late. But the Packers got turnovers and stops in some critical situations, including a late interception that allowed the offense to regain a three-possession lead that held up as a ten-point margin of victory at the final buzzer.
