Cons

- The Dallas Cowboys pass defense has displayed good efficiency versus wideouts this year, conceding 7.38 yards-per-target to the position: the 6th-least in the NFL.
- The Dallas Cowboys linebackers rank as the 2nd-best collection of LBs in the NFL this year in covering receivers.
- The Green Bay Packers O-line has given their quarterback a measly 2.44 seconds before the pass (3rd-worst in the league since the start of last season), which has a harmful effect on all air attack stats across the board.
