The Packers and Cowboys have played since 1960. There were 5 year gaps between 1984 and 1989 and 1999 and 2004.
Tom Landry coached the Cowboys in many of these games including the 1st time the Cowboys won in 1970.
The famed Ice Bowl was a Cowboy/Packers game, in which Cowboy wideout Bob Hayes played. That year he led the league with 13 TD receptions.
In the 90's the Cowboys dominated often ending Green Bay's season in the playoffs. Packer WR Sterling Sharpe caught in a 29 YD TD in the 1994 game. In 1995 running back (& current assistant coach) Edgar Bennett(pictured left) scored a touchdown. In 1996 Brett Favre hit Brooks twice and Keith Jackson once but the Packers still lost.
In fact Favre never beat Dallas in Texas including last years 37-27 loss when he left the game injured. Aaron Rogers stepped in and played for the injured # 4.
Rogers now looks to help the Packers continue their own streak in the series. Green Bay has won at home V. Dallas in 1989, 1991, 1997 and 2o04.
Streaks, great players, great history and great current teams will be on display Sunday nite.
