Packers 17, Dallas 7
Green Bay, WI (Sports Network) - Aaron Rodgers threw for 189 yards and a touchdown, and the Green Bay Packers dominated the Dallas Cowboys, 17-7, to hand Tony Romo his first-ever loss in November.
Rodgers completed 25-of-36 passes and also rushed for a score for Green Bay (5-4), which recovered in a big way after becoming the only team to lose to Tampa Bay this season. Ryan Grant ran for 78 yards on 20 carries, and Donald Driver caught four passes for 50 yards. Spencer Havner had a touchdown reception in the win.
Charles Woodson had eight tackles, a sack, an interception and two forced fumbles for a staunch Packers defense, which sacked Romo a total of five times.
Romo, who came into the game with a perfect 13-0 November record, did not have a good return to his home state, recording 251 passing yards with a touchdown and an interception on 24-of-39 passing for the Cowboys (6-3), who had won their last previous games. Roy Williams caught five passes for 105 yards and a touchdown, and Marion Barber led a weak rushing attack with 26 yards on five carries.
