4th quarter
Dallas had the ball coming into the 4th quarter looking for the tying score, however Green Bay’s defense had something to say about that. Linebacker Clay Matthews came flying in on a missed assignment by Turbin, sacking Cassel on 3rd down for an eight yard loss.

The teams then exchanged three and outs again, before the Packers’ offense caught fire again. Lacy and Starks led the charge, ripping off huge chunks of yards at a time. This set up for the 30 yard touchdown run by Starks, who scampered up the middle on a beautiful draw play. He showed a great burst through the line of scrimmage and on into the secondary splitting the Dallas defenders as he went on to score his second touchdown of the game.
The Packers weren’t done yet. After forcing the Cowboys out on downs, McCarthy rewarded Lacy with some garbage time carries. Lacy took four straight carries and pounded in the Packers final touchdown to cement the already inevitable victory 28-7
