It was one of the worst defeats in Dallas Cowboys franchise history - a 45-7 Sunday night loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field in which the score didn't really indicate how lopsided the game was. The Pack outgained the Boys by more than a 2-1 ratio (415 to 205 net yards), had 71 offensive plays to Dallas' 48, and converted 67 percent of their third downs to 40 percent for Dallas.
The difference in rushing yards was the real embarrassment - once again, Dallas' prized backfield was an afterthought, as the Cowboys gained just 39 yards on the ground. That was in part a result of how far ahead the Packers were early, but it's been a problem all season. More and more, people are looking at offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, the alleged future star and next Dallas head coach, and wondering why he can't get a consistent running game going with Marion Barber(notes), Felix Jones(notes), and Tashard Choice(notes) in his backfield.
