Packers defense holds Cowboys to 13 points in Sunday night game

The Green Bay Packers hosted the Dallas Cowboys at Lambeau Field on October 18, 2026, winning 23-13. The Packers' defense succeeded in limiting quarterback Dak Prescott to 258 passing yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. This performance marks the third consecutive game in which the Packers have held their opponent to 14 points or fewer. Former Packers quarterback Kurt Benkert praised the defense’s ability to trouble high-powered offenses, speculating on their potential in the upcoming playoff months. Quarterback Jordan Love was 23-of-41 passing for 276 yards, while running back Javonte Williams scored for Dallas, but it was not enough to match the Packers' strong first-half lead.
