Cowboys vs Packers injury report and team news

Dallas concede a 120.5 opponent passer rating, the worst figure in the NFL.
Christian Watson has 474 receiving yards and Matthew Golden 397 for the Packers.
A bad secondary and a non-existent run game
One hundred and twenty point five is the opponent passer rating Dallas concede, with ten touchdown passes allowed and no interceptions taken.
Green Bay should feast on it. Watson has 474 receiving yards and Golden 397, and the Packers rate 95.5 through the air.
Dallas convert 83.3% in the red zone, second only to San Francisco, so they will score. Whether a defence with five sacks in five games gets a stop is the question.
