2022 Cowboys Season Preview: Week 10 vs Packers

After a bye week in Week 9, the Cowboys will travel to Wisconsin to take on the Green Bay Packers in Week 10.

Dallas last played Green Bay in 2019, winning 34-24 in Arlington. The last time the Cowboys defeated the Packers was in the 2016 regular season, winning 30-16 in Green Bay.

Aaron Rodgers returns at quarterback after coming off back-to-back MVP awards. Last season, Rodgers led the NFL with a 111.9 passer rating alongside 4,115 yards, 37 touchdowns and four interceptions. He completed 68.9 percent of his passes.

After trading away star wide receiver Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders, the Packers will line up players like Allen Lazard and former Cowboy Randall Cobb at the position. Green Bay also signed Sammy Watkins from the Baltimore Ravens in free agency and drafted Christian Watson out of North Dakota State in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon form the Packers’ running back duo. The two combined for 1,602 yards and nine touchdowns last season. Robert Tonyan is Green Bay’s No. 1 tight end. He played just eight games last season due to a torn ACL.

After missing most of last season with an ACL injury, tackle David Bakhtiari returns healthy in 2022. He’ll lead an offensive line that includes guards Jon Runyan and Royce Newman and center Josh Myers. Elgton Jenkins can play guard, but may start at tackle this season.

Edge rusher Rashan Gary and defensive tackle Kenny Clark lead the Packers’ pass rush. Gary recorded a career-high 9.5 sacks last season, while Clark recorded four sacks with 21 tackles for loss.

Coming off his first All-Pro selection last season, De’Vondre Campbell returns at linebacker. He’s expected to start alongside Quay Walker, Green Bay’s first-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft.

After suffering a shoulder injury that limited him to four games last season, cornerback Jaire Alexander returns as the Packers’ No. 1 cornerback. He’ll lead the secondary alongside fellow cornerbacks Eric Stokes and Rasul Douglas and safeties Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage.

Head coach Matt LaFleur returns for his fourth season in Green Bay. He’s won 13 games in his previous three seasons and holds a 39-10 record as Packers coach. This will be the first time Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy will coach against the Packers since being fired by the team in 2019.

Dallas will face Green Bay on Sunday, Nov. 13, at 3:25 p.m. CT on Fox.
