    What a job by Jordan Love, he knew it was a blitz, he knew he had man coverage and he just picked his spot.

    Touchdown - Packers!published at 22:42 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January

    Green Bay Packers 20-0 Dallas Cowboys

    Oh my word! What are we watching here? Jordan Love yet again under pressure, yet again delivers a dart and this time it's into the end zone for Dontayvion Wicks to score another Packers touchdown.

    The mechanics of the throw are incredible - Love's feet aren't set, he's got pressure in his face from all angles and it almost looks like he's throwing it away, but it's right down the throat of Wicks.

    About the only thing to go wrong for the Packers so far is Anders Carlson misses the extra point.

  3. Romeo, oh Romeo!published at 22:37 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January

    Green Bay Packers 14-0 Dallas Cowboys

    Jordan Love gives it an unorthodox, Patrick Mahomes-like flick of the wrist throw and Romeo Doubs takes yet another good grab, this time adding a big-time run after the catch to take it 39 yards.

    Doubs goes over 100 yards receiving already today, with Love over 150 yards passing. This entire Green Bay attack is playing lights-out right now.

    This does not look like a 12-5 team.

  5. Dallas need their defencepublished at 22:34 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January

    Green Bay Packers 14-0 Dallas Cowboys

    It's a great punt from Dallas, and it shows the value of good special teams - we saw last night some poor punts from Cleveland that didn't help them out one bit.

    This time, with Dallas struggling on offence, the kick pins Green Bay back inside their own 10 and now Dan Quinn's defence can get to work.

  6. Next score crucial for Cowboyspublished at 22:33 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January

    After earning as many first downs in the first quarter as they threw interceptions (one), that was a much-improved drive by Dallas.

    However, until the Cowboys can get on the board, there's huge pressure on their defence to make a stop on each and every Packers possession.

    Even at this early stage, if the Packers get the next score, it could leave Dallas with too much to do.

    Well this has ended ugly hasn't it for the Cowboys? Wow.

  8. Sack - Dak goes down!published at 22:30 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January

    Green Bay Packers 14-0 Dallas Cowboys

    Dak Prescott has nowhere to go on third down as he rolls out to his right under pressure, he's desperate to find a receiver but none get open in time and he's tackled by Keisean Nixon for a sack and loss of six yards.

    Green Bay are all over Dallas right now.

    This is an odd start for the Cowboys. It's very flat and unemotional. They look a bit lethargic.

    The Packers are making life extremely uncomfortable for Dak Prescott in a stadium he usually dominates in. We're into the second quarter and he's only just got his first four yards of passing on the stat sheet....

  11. Jones maintains hot streakpublished at 22:25 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January

    Former NFL tight end Greg Olsen: "Aaron Jones came into this weekend hot and he’s continued. Green Bay’s ability to make the run and the pass look the same has made it difficult for Dallas."

    It's Aaron Jones again! It's another short yardage barge over for Jones as he scores his eighth touchdown in four games against Dallas.

    Romeo Doubs set it up with a nice catch off a quick slant and a rocket of a throw from Jordan Love down to the two-yard line.

    And as they have been all season, the Packers are deadly when they get inside the 10-yard line, scoring touchdowns on 20 out of 21 trips - that's the best conversion rate in the the NFL since 1991.

  14. 'It's all gone badly for Cowboys'published at 22:20 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January

    Green Bay Packers 7-0 Dallas Cowboys

    Dak Prescott's started quite slowly. The Cowboys have to hope that the Packers settle for a field goal here.

    You can't win a game in the first quarter and a half, but you can lose one. Taking yourself out of the mix this early on is not good enough.

    It's all gone badly for Cowboys.

  15. End of first quarterpublished at 22:17 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January

    Green Bay Packers 7-0 Dallas Cowboys

    What an ending to the quarter. Aaron Jones almost scores but the Packers are backed up after another holding call on Green Bay defending Micah Parsons.

    We'll start the second quarter with the Packers trying to punch in a second touchdown.

    Jaire Alexander did not have a single pick in the regular season. It's been a down year for him, but that's making up for it right there.

  17. Turnover - Prescott picked off!published at 22:14 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January

    Jaire Alexander picks off Dak Prescott on the Dallas 19-yard line! Alexander, who was a doubt for the game with an ankle injury, got in ahead of Brandin Cooks as both dived for the ball.

    He actually runs it in for what he thinks could be a touchdown, but the refs rule him down by contact after the dive with Cooks. Still a great play though and sets up the Packers nicely.

  18. Parsons causing problemspublished at 22:09 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January

    Micah Parsons is an absolute animal for Dallas - and he draws a flag as he's being held when bursting through trying to get after Jordan Love.

    That brings up fourth down and Green Bay have to punt. Parsons was dropped into coverage on the last third down - but he's much better when unleashed to go hunt down a quarterback.

  19. Great play!published at 22:06 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January

    Green Bay Packers 7-0 Dallas Cowboys

    It's an action replay! Jordan Love again has to bounce around in the backfield as Dallas come after him, but he slings another laser down the middle and again Romeo Doubs climbs high to take the catch near midfield.

    Again Love took a hit but he hung on in there and delivered a strike as all quality quarterbacks do.

  20. Where's VAR?published at 22:04 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January

    Green Bay Packers 7-0 Dallas Cowboys

    You get some big hits in the NFL - this was not one of them as Jayden Reed takes the fair catch off the punt then goes down as if he's been hit by Sam Williams, drawing a penalty flag.

    Replays show Williams has barely touched him if at all, but Reed made sure he 'bought' the flag if you will. He's been watching Premier League footballers win penalties too much...
