3 keys to a big Dallas Cowboys victory over Packers in Week 4

The Dallas Cowboys have a massive matchup facing them in Week 4 when they welcome the Green Bay Packers to AT&T Stadium.

Not only is this a big game, but it is also the return of Micah Parsons. Parsons was traded just before the start of the regular season, and everyone circled this game on their calendars.

So, how can the Cowboys pull off the upset? Here are three keys to victory Dallas can use on Sunday night.

Pressure Love

Funny that we are talking about pressuring the quarterback, but the Cowboys must get Packers quarterback Jordan Love out of his comfort zone.

The Cleveland Browns' defense brought the pressure this past Sunday, and Love had his worst game of the season. If the Cowboys can push the envelope with the pass rush, there's a chance they win this game.

Limit Turnovers

The Cowboys turned the ball over four times in their loss to the Chicago Bears. If that happens on Sunday night, you can count this game as a loss as well.

The Packers have one of the best defenses in the NFL. Handing them the ball with turnovers will make this one ugly night.

Turpin Time

The Cowboys are going to need some folks to step up on offense with the absence of CeeDee Lamb. It's time for KaVontae Turpin to be the weapon the team needs him to be. A breakout performance on Sunday night could give the Cowboys the edge.
