Packers need to brew some coffee and wake up after being embarrassed

Ezekiel Elliot torched the best run defense in the NFL for 157 yards on 28 carries and the Dallas Cowboys crushed the Green Bay Packers 30-16, at Lambeau Field. The Packers turned the ball over four times, and had to settle for two field goals in the first half when they couldn't extend drives. 

As poorly as the Packers played, the Cowboys didn't close the door on this game until the fourth quarter. The Cowboys lead was 10-6 with 1:39 left in the first half. The Packers had some momentum after Trevor Davis had a 25 yard punt return, placing the ball at the Packers 46. Aaron Rodgers should have been licking his chops with a short field and over one minute. A score at the end of the half makes this a different game, but instead the Packers went three and out. Pinned inside the Packers 5 yard line, the Cowboys played safe and ran Elliott. After a Packers timeout, one of many secondary breakdowns allowed Lucky Whitehead to have a 26 yard run and catch. Dak Prescott looked more like the saavy veteran as he then found Terrance Williams for a 42 yard gain. Prescott finished off the drive and the Packers with a beautiful touch pass to Brice Butler to cap off a ridiculous 5 play 97 yard drive to take a 17-6 lead. The Packers never recovered after this drive. 

Even after the first half fiasco, the Packers received the second half kickoff and moved the ball to Cowboy territory with a huge dose of Eddie Lacy. Lacy battled an ankle injury all day but still ran effectively, 17 carries for 65 yards. However, this drive ended with an errant Aaron Rodgers throw that was intercepted by Barry Church. This turnover resulted in a Cowby field goal, and extended the lead to 20-6. 

The Cowboys improve to 5-1, and first place in the NFC East. The Packers fall to 3-2, and are two games behind the undefeated Vikings in the NFC North. Listen in and call the show with your thoughts.
