GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers welcomed Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys to Lambeau Field on Sunday. Follow along all day for updates.

Final

Packers 31, Cowboys 28

The Packers capped a remarkable comeback with Mason Crosby’s 28-yard field goal with 3:06 remaining. A 36-yard catch-and-run to Allen Lazard was the big play. Coming on third-and-1, nickel corner Da’Ron Bland slipped, Lazard caught the pass and took off for the critical play.

Here is our quick story.

Overtime

Packers 28, Cowboys 28 (6:15 remaining)

Jarran Reed hasn’t made many plays in his first season with the team. On fourth-and-3 from the 35, he got to Dak Prescott and held on for dear life. Prescott’s desperation pass fluttered incomplete.

Fourth Quarter

Packers 28, Cowboys 28 (18 seconds remaining)

The Packers’ shot to win went nowhere. On third-and-1, Aaron Rodgers extended the play for as long as he could before throwing it away. He was irate. The Packers punted and overtime seems inevitable.

Packers 28, Cowboys 28 (1:38 remaining)

The Packers will have a shot. Who would have guessed that an hour ago. Quay Walker had the coverage on second down and Jaire Alexander on third down. It’s Green Bay’s ball at the 33.

Packers 28, Cowboys 28 (2:29 remaining)

Aaron Rodgers and Christian Watson connected for their third touchdown of the night, a 7-yarder as the Packers have come back from a two-touchdown deficit to tie the game. The 10-play, 89-yard drive was highlighted by a 30-yard run by Aaron Jones, who had nowhere to go to the right, so cut back to the left and raced down the sideline.

Cowboys 28, Packers 21 (8:57 remaining)

The Packers will start at their 11, their fleeting playoff hopes at stake. Preston Smith’s late pressure forced a third-down incompletion by Dak Prescott.

Cowboys 28, Packers 21 (13:23 remaining)

The Packers aren’t done just yet. Moments after picking up a third-and-3 with a scramble, Aaron Rodgers threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Christian Watson on a do-or-die fourth-and-6. It’s Watson’s second touchdown of the game, the first Packers rookie with two touchdown catches in the same game since running back Keith Woodside against Washington on Oct. 23, 1988.

Third Quarter

Cowboys 28, Packers 14 (2:47 remaining)

The Packers are on the ropes. Dak Prescott’s 35-yard touchdown pass to CeeDee Lamb has put the Cowboys ahead by two scores. Lamb was wide open behind Jaire Alexander and Darnell Savage, caught the ball around the 12 and strolled into the end zone. Dallas faced a second-and-21 following intentional grounding. The next four plays went for 12, 14, 14 and 35 yards.

Cowboys 21, Packers 14 (5:34 remaining)

The Packers needed an answer and didn’t get one. Sam Williams blew past left guard Elgton Jenkins for a third-down sack and a three-and-out punt.

Cowboys 21, Packers 14 (7:14 remaining)

Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers. Amari Rodgers’ fumble turned into the go-ahead touchdown. A perfect draw to running back Tony Pollard resulted in a 13-yard touchdown. Linebacker Isaiah McDuffie missed a tackle around the 7. A 30-yard completion to CeeDee Lamb was the big play.

Rodgers has fumbled five times – one of them was on the lateral play vs. Washington – most by any non-quarterback.

Packers 14, Cowboys 14 (8:29 remaining)

Amari Rodgers struck again. The Packers were poised to start near midfield. Instead, the second-year receiver fumbled his fourth punt return of the year. Cornerback C.J. Goodwin delivered the jarring blow and tight end Sean McKeon recovered at Green Bay’s 45. The crowd booed the embattled Rodgers off the field.

Packers 14, Cowboys 14 (10:49 remaining)

For the third time, the Packers crossed midfield but failed to score. A 23-yard completion to Sammy Watkins on second-and-22 got the ball on the other side of the 50 but, on third-and-4, Aaron Rodgers’ deep shot to Christian Watson was just out of the rookie’s reach. The Cowboys will start at their 5, so a key series awaits.

Halftime

Packers 14, Cowboys 14

The Packers, losers of five straight, headed to the locker room with a 14-all tie. Aaron Jones has 11 carries for 66 yards and one touchdown. Aaron Rodgers is only 4-of-6 passing. Of his 73 yards, 58 came on a touchdown to Christian Watson. Dallas has run 42 plays to only 25 for Green Bay.

The Packers will get the ball to start the second half.

Second Quarter

Packers 14, Cowboys 14 (8 seconds remaining)

Dak Prescott threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Dalton Schultz for the tying score. Adrian Amos couldn’t make the tackle near the goal line; had he made the play, the clock might have run out. After Green Bay scored, Corey Ballentine, promoted from the practice squad on Saturday, forced a fumble on the ensuing kickoff return but the Cowboys recovered. A too-easy 2-minute drive ensued. The big plays came on back-to-back snaps: a second-and-12 draw to Tony Pollard that gained 11 and a 23-yard completion to Michael Gallup to the 5.

Packers 14, Cowboys 7 (1:42 remaining)

RUDY! RUDY! RUDY!

Ford's second INT of the half 💪 #DALvsGB | #GoPackGo

Rudy Ford’s second interception of the day set up Green Bay for the go-ahead touchdown. On second-and-5, Aaron Jones darted through a huge hole – left guard Elgton Jenkins and center Josh Myers had key blocks – for a 12-yard touchdown. The big play was defensive holding on star cornerback Trevon Diggs, which gave the Packers a first down rather than a third-and-10. On the interception, Dak Prescott threw the ball right to Ford; it appeared receiver CeeDee Lamb had no idea the ball was coming.

Packers 7, Cowboys 7 (4:54 remaining)

The TD.

The backflip.

58 yards to @ChristianW2017! 🙌#DALvsGB | #GoPackGo

Christian Watson dropped two passes on the opening series. He made amends on third-and-1. With the Packers lined up with a run-centric personnel group, Aaron Rodgers lofted a 58-yard touchdown pass to Watson against Anthony Brown. Watson made a terrific over-the-should catch and ran through Brown’s tackle attempt around the 15 for the game-tying score. Watson, who dropped a 75-yard touchdown pass on the opening snap at Minnesota, celebrated his triumphant moment with a backflip. It was the longest play of the season, beating Sammy Watkins' 53-yarder vs. Chicago in Week 2.

Cowboys 7, Packers 0 (6:57 remaining)

It's going the other way!

INT FOR FORD! 💪#DALvsGB | #GoPackGo

With Green Bay facing a third-and-3, Aaron Rodgers stepped up in the pocket and was stripped by DeMarcus Lawrence. That gave the Cowboys a first-and-goal at the 10. Critically, Green Bay’s defense rose to the occasion. After safety Adrian Amos ran Dak Prescott out of bounds for a 2-yard sack to create a third-and-goal at the 11, Prescott fired a pass over the middle that was intercepted by safety Rudy Ford, who returned the ball 34 yards to the 33.

Cowboys 7, Packers 0 (9:52 remaining)

Dak Prescott threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to receiver CeeDee Lamb, who was lined up at running back, to cap a 17-play, 83-yard scoring drive that consumed 8:21 of the clock. Safety Rudy Ford had a chance to bring down Lamb at the 2 but couldn’t make the play. This was textbook Mike McCarthy offense. He went tempo to keep advantageous matchups on the field. He stretched the defense every which way. And he rode Prescott for a pair of fourth-and-1 conversions. Lamb had a 21-yard catch and Tony Pollard had a 14-yard run to convert a second-and-13.

First Quarter

Packers 0, Cowboys 0 (3:13 remaining)

Another decent possession died on Dallas’ side of midfield. Aaron Jones gained 17 around right end, Yosh Nijman delivering the key block against Micah Parsons. But on third-and-2, a toss to the left to Jones was smothered for minus-3. The Packers have 65 rushing yards and zero points.

Packers 0, Cowboys 0 (8:31 remaining)

Darnell Savage broke up a second down pass and Dak Prescott’s pass on third-and-5 was well short of CeeDee Lamb. Amari Rodgers bobbled but caught the punt. So, on three snaps of special teams, there’s been a kickoff almost returned for a touchdown, a missed field goal and a bobble.

An impressive drive went down the drain. A solid running game set up a second-and-5 pass to Christian Watson, which he dropped. That would have pushed the ball to the Dallas 20. On third-and-5, Watson dropped another pass – albeit with a higher level of difficulty. Mason Crosby’s 54-yard field goal was well short of the mark.

Packers 0, Cowboys 0 (14:14 remaining)

KaVontae Turpin almost took Ramiz Ahmed’s opening kickoff back for a touchdown but Ahmed made an excellent open-field tackle. The Cowboys went three-and-out. On the first play, Rudy Ford dropped running back Tony Pollard for no gain. In a new look, Ford and Adrian Amos were the safeties and Darnell Savage moved from safety to the slot.

Pregame Notes

- The No. 1 line for the second consecutive week will be left tackle David Bakhtiari, left guard Elgton Jenkins, center Josh Myers, right guard Jon Runyan and right tackle Yosh Nijman.

- In the first snap of nickel, it’s Keisean Nixon in the slot and Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage as the safeties.

However, on the first snap of the game, it was Savage in the slot and Rudy Ford and Adrian Amos as the safeties.

- About 40 minutes before kickoff, Packers public-address announcer Bill Jartz welcomed Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy back to Lambeau Field. McCarthy tipped his hat to what was a mostly empty stadium.

- Mason Crosby and Ramiz Ahmed, as expected, will split the kicking duties for the Packers. Doing his usual pregame routine, Crosby hit the left upright from 53 yards to the south before splitting the uprights. Maybe 15 yards from the field-goal operation, Ahmed was working on kickoffs. His strong leg is apparent compared to Crosby, who has struggled with kickoffs this season.

- As always, Amari Rodgers is in the punt return line. He is active after being listed as questionable on Friday with a groin injury. Of note, Jaire Alexander and Samori Toure were in line, too. For kickoff returns, it’s Kylin Hill, Christian Watson and Keisean Nixon.

Streak Stoppers

The Packers enter Sunday’s game with a five-game losing streak. With another loss on Sunday, the skid not only would reach six games but match the combined number of regular-season losses the last two seasons.

The longest losing streak in franchise history was nine straight spanning the 1948-1949 seasons. If the Packers lose to Dallas (6-2), Tennessee (5-3) and Philadelphia (8-0), they’d be carrying an eight-game losing streak to Chicago.

Despite the team’s struggles, it was a good week of work, coach Matt LaFleur said.

“I think guys are locked in, they’re dialed in,” LaFleur said on Friday. “Wednesday was more above-the-neck, I thought (Thursday) there was great competitiveness, especially when we had the pads on for the first part of practice, through the one on ones. I thought those were great. It’s never perfect in practice and sometimes you learn a lot more from your mistakes, but I thought as far as the energy, the focus, the detail, I really liked what we saw.”
