FRISCO, Texas – The Cowboys are hoping their defense will look a bit different when it lines up this Sunday against Green Bay.
That’s a literal statement, not a figurative one. Obviously, the Cowboys will need to play better than the 281 yards and 19 points they allowed in the second half against Los Angeles. Otherwise, their Week 5 meeting with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers will be a long one.
But that’s the initial point. When the Cowboys welcome the Packers to AT&T Stadium on Sunday afternoon, there’s at least some optimism they’ll have some reinforcements on defense – starting with their top two linebackers, Sean Lee and Anthony Hitchens.
