Packers 2022 schedule release: Top 5 must-see matchups

1. Packers vs. Cowboys

Not just a battle of two of the NFC’s best teams, but also the return of Mike McCarthy to Lambeau Field.

Four years after he was fired as head coach in Green Bay, McCarthy will make his long-awaited return to take on Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

After a long, successful run in Green Bay that saw McCarthy lead the team to a championship, it will be strange watching him on the opposite sideline.

Rodgers vs. McCarthy will be a huge storyline all week long. Both will want to get the victory over the other.

More importantly, this could be an important matchup in the NFC standings.

The Dallas Cowboys are ready for another playoff run and should enter the season as favorites in the NFC East.

Dallas did lose wide receiver Amari Cooper this offseason, but a trio of CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, and rookie Jalen Tolbert is still up there with the best.

The Cowboys will be bringing one of the best offenses in football to Lambeau Field. And to make this game even bigger for the Packers, it’s Mike McCarthy’s offense.

McCarthy’s return to Lambeau Field in a battle of two NFC heavyweights makes this game the most must-see on the Packers’ 2022 schedule.
