The Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys combined for one of the most shocking trades in recent NFL history as the former acquired Micah Parsons for Kenny Clark and two first-round picks less than two weeks ahead of the season. The two defenses entered their Week 4 matchup trending in opposite directions.
Green Bay led the league in scoring defense, allowing just 14.7 points per game, while their 10 sacks ranked fifth. Meanwhile, Dallas had allowed 30.7 ppg over their first three games, the sixth-highest mark in the NFL while their four sacks were the fifth-fewest. Both units were awful in the Sunday Night Football meeting, which resulted in a 40-40 tie.
