Packs Defeat Cowpolks, 28-3

Vince Lombardi: All smiles (Hornung crouched in front).

The 1993 Dallas Cowboys couldn't get their passing game to go-along with their effective running game, while Bart Starr of the 1965 Green Bay Packers executed their offense, keeping Dallas' defense on their heels.

Starr made the big play when he needed to (12/21, 234 yds, TD) & kept the chains moving (23 first downs), finishing the day with a 112 QB rating... while Troy Aikman (11/23, 57.7 QB rating) of the Cowboys was held under a 100 yards passing (87). Aikman's safety valve, Jay Novacek was a no-show in this contest, catching only one ball for a negative 3 yards -- after a Week 1 performance that watched Novacek net nine catches.

Emmitt Smith was Dallas' only real weapon in this one, carrying the ball 14 times for 109 yards, while leading the boys with 4 receptions. The Pack had their usual two-man punch working in the running game with Jim Taylor (17-70) and Paul Hornung (14-55, 2 TD runs), which worked really well with Starr's passing game.

Emmitt is 2nd in rushing (192 yds) after 2003 Carolina's Stephen Davis (196 yds).

Boyd Dowler led Packers' receiving game with 6 catches for 90 yards.
