ARLINGTON, Texas Aaron Rodgers darted toward the line of scrimmage before flinging a ball sidearm for another dazzling completion at the home of the Dallas Cowboys.Aaron Jones waved bye-bye to Dallas cornerback Byron Jones on the way to one of four rushing touchdowns, which tied Green Bayfranchise record.The Aarons were quite comfortable in a 34-24 victory over the Cowboys on Sunday Rodgers because he won again at ATT Stadium nine years after his first victory in the retractable-roof stadium was the 2011 Super Bowl, Jones because the West Texas kid felt right at home https://www.cowboysgoodsshop.com/9-Limited.Article continues below ...All my family was up in the stands, said Jones, who grew up a Cowboys fan about 600 miles away in El Paso and played for the hometown UTEP Miners Travis Frederick Jersey. I could see my brother right there. I threw him one of the balls when I scored. That was pretty cool. Just being back in Texas. Rodgers zipped that sidewinding toss to Robert Tonyan in tight coverage along the sideline to fix one broken play, flipped a left-hander to Tra Carson to rescue another, and helped Green Bay improve to 5-0 at ATT Stadium.The first three Green Bay wins over the Cowboys at their 10-year-old stadium were all dramatic, highlighted by Rodgers improbable 35-yard completion to Jared Cook to set up a winning field goal on the final play of a 34-31 divisional-round playoff win three years ago.Ive had some good games here, said Rodgers, who was injured when Matt Flynn rallied the Packers to a 37-36 win after trailing 26-3 in the second half six years ago. Four good ones.Not quite the same drama this time after the Packers built a 31-3 lead https://www.cowboysgoodsshop.com/126-Cowboys_Dustin_Stanton_Jersey, although Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper set career highs trying to keep things interesting in the fourth quarter.The last hope for Dallas ended with 141 left when Brett Maher missed his second field goal a 33-yarder that would have given the Cowboys a shot at an onside kick down seven.When you do that, put yourself in a hole, you put yourself in a position that no matter how hard you fight and no matter how many good things you do on the back end, ithard to come out of that against a good team like they are, Prescott said.Missing his biggest threat in Davante Adams because of a toe injury, Rodgers threw for 238 yards without an interception to the delight of a large contingent of Green Bay fans that pulled off several Go Pack Go chants without much resistance from the home crowd.Prescott, on the other hand, matched a career high with three interceptions, although the first was a drop by Cooper on what should have been a big play early.The Cowboys lost their second straight game and dropped into a tie with Philadelphia atop the NFC East after winning their first three, just as the Packers had done.Green Bay, also coming off its first loss, took sole possession of first in the NFC North with Chicago24-21 loss to Oakland. The Packers opened the season with a win over the Bears.Preseason, they were talking about Chicago as a playoff team, Rodgers said. A tough team with that defense. Then come here, the team has Super Bowl aspirations, which they should, because theyve got a great quarterback and great defense Michael Gallup Jersey. To be 4-1 and first in the division is a real accomplishment.JONES BIG DAY Jones had a career-high 182 scrimmage yards 107 rushing and 75 receiving and opened the scoring with an 18-yard run after being held to 19 and 21 yards rushing the previous two weeks.On the touchdown that surpassed his previous career high of two and gave Green Bay a 24-0 lead early in the second half, Aaron Jones gestured toward Byron Jones while beating him to the pylon on a 5-yard run. The fourth TD was a 1-yard plunge.Jones had exactly twice as many scrimmage yards as two-time rushing champion Ezekiel Elliott, who finished with 62 yards on the ground after the Cowboys had to abandon the part of the game their offense is built on to try to erase the four-touchdown deficit https://www.cowboysgoodsshop.com/116-Cowboys_Leighton_Vander_Esch_Jersey.I think I made a pretty big statement, showing what kind of running back I am and what I can do, Jones said. I feel like I did go toe-to-toe with him.LOTS OF YARDS, LOSS ANYWAY Cooper had a 53-yard touchdown among his 11 catches and Michael Gallup had 113 yards receiving with a 40-yard score. Prescott, who had never lost when throwing for more than 275 yards, was 27 of 44.The Cowboys finished with 563 yards, the most theyve ever had in a loss. It topped the 554 yards they had in a 26-21 loss to Detroit in 1985. Not long after Coopermiscue landed in Jaire Alexanderarms in a scoreless game early, the Cowboys were behind for good.The only thing thatreally on my mind is the dropped ball and the turnover it created, Cooper said. I feel like it gave them a lot of momentum in the game, and, I got it, thatwhat I was thinking. And those are the three worst words in football.INJURIES Green Bay center Corey Linsley didnt return after leaving in the first half to be evaluated for a concussion. Cowboys right tackle Lael Collins, who played after being listed as questionable with a back issue, left with a knee injury in the second half and didnt return.
