Cowboys Need A Massive Bounce Back In Green Bay

The Dallas Cowboys are reeling. That Thursday night loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was a total disaster. Seeing the team fall 24-16 at home was hard to watch. Now, the squad has to find a way to recover before they head to Lambeau Field for Week 6.

The schedule isn't getting any easier. The Cowboys will travel to play the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, October 18. That game kicks off at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock. It is the second of three straight primetime games for the team. I don't like the look of this stretch. You can't keep playing on national TV and losing like that.

The trip to Wisconsin is going to be brutal. The Cowboys are looking for a win to get back into the win column. It is hard to feel good about the team right now. Even the experts are skeptical. Per Sports Illustrated, it is tough to believe any oddsmakers would back the 'Boys after that last performance.

The pressure is mounting. The team needs to show progress. If they can't win in Green Bay, the season might start sliding. The defense has to step up. We saw what happened against Tampa Bay. We can't let it happen again in a cold stadium.

If you are a Bucs fan, you have a reason to smile. The Bucs are resting after their big win. Bucs fans should watch the Saints and Vikings game. A Saints loss would tie them at 1-4 in the division. That would be a huge win for Tampa Bay's standings.

There is also plenty to scout for the future. The Steelers and Colts both sit at 2-2. Since the Bucs face the Steelers next Sunday, this game is a great chance to see what's coming. The Cowboys face the Packers on Sunday, October 18, and the eyes of the league will be on them.
