The Green Bay Packers defeated the Dallas Cowboys at Lambeau Field by a 23-13 final score to claim their third straight win, taking them to 4-2 on the season.
Here are five takeaways from a big victory on "Sunday Night Football":
It is hard to overstate the job Jonathan Gannon and the Packers defense did in this matchup. In a game that was supposed to be a shootout, Gannon perplexed Dak Prescott all night, channeling his inner Brian Flores and leaving the Dallas quarterback unsure what was coming next.
This was not just smoke and mirrors though, the Packers' defensive players showed their quality, as they harassed the quarterback and even more impressively, the defensive backs held their own against CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, and then some.
This game was always going to serve as a test of just how good Green Bay's defense really is, and specifically whether it is good enough to compete in the postseason. The answer looks like a resounding yes.
