The Packers’ loss to the Cleveland Browns exposed some significant flaws in the Packers’ offense, called some of head coach Matt LaFleur’s late-game decision-making and quarterback Jordan Love’s execution into question.

Sunday also continued a worrisome trend that the Packers will have the opportunity to buck on Saturday night, in a far more consequential game for a team that still has legitimate Super Bowl aspirations.

Packers must prove they can win on the road

Sunday night’s clash with the Cowboys presents All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons his first chance to get some revenge on his former team, and, for the Packers to right the shp away from the friendly confines of Lambeau Field.

The Packers enter Sunday night having lost three consecutive road games, dating back to the 2024 season, and four of the last five.

Similarly, each of the Packers’ most recent postseason losses came on the road, in Philadelphia and San Francisco, respectively.

Meanwhile, the Packers return to Dallas, where Jordan Love orchestrated a blowout victory in the NFC Wild Card playoffs two seasons ago, and could use some of that offensive magic to right the ship after a disappointing loss last Sunday.
