Cowboys' Defense Crumbles As Packers Surge Behind Jordan Love

Week 8 put the spotlight on looming roster decisions before Nov. 4.

Overview

  • Denver hammered Dallas 44-24, piling up 426 yards as Bo Nix threw four touchdowns, reinforcing the Cowboys’ league-worst yardage defense and forcing two Dak Prescott interceptions.
  • Green Bay rallied past Pittsburgh 35-25 with Jordan Love completing 29 of 37 for 360 yards and three touchdowns, while Micah Parsons fueled a swarming defense as the Packers improved to 5-1-1.
  • Pittsburgh’s high-priced defense has gone three straight games without a takeaway and will enter November among the NFL’s bottom five in yards allowed, heightening concern after back-to-back losses.
  • Philadelphia beat the Giants 38-20 as Saquon Barkley ran for 150 yards including a 65-yard score, with New York surrendering 276 rushing yards and losing rookie Cam Skattebo to a dislocated ankle.
  • Trade chatter intensified ahead of Nov. 4, including local criticism of Browns leadership and speculation about shopping rookie QB Shedeur Sanders, plus a media-proposed scenario linking the Cowboys to Dolphins defenders Minkah Fitzpatrick and Jaelan Phillips.
