The Green Bay Packers will face the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football as they look to bounce back from a brutal 13-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns in a game they likely should've won.
While Cleveland has one of the best pass rushes in the entire NFL -- ranking tied for third in sacks with 11 through three games -- the same cannot be said for Green Bay's Week 4 opponent. Dallas has just four sacks early on, which is the fifth-fewest in the entire NFL.
The Cowboys signed Jadeveon Clowney to a one-year deal last week, but he did not make his team debut in Week 3. Dallas owner Jerry Jones revealed that the first overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft will suit up against the Packers, adding that he expects him to pressure the quarterback.
Jadeveon Clowney can't fix the Cowboys' pass-rush void left after Micah Parsons trade
The Cowboys' shocking decision to trade Micah Parsons has not worked out for them at all. In addition to having the fifth-fewest sacks in the league, they have also allowed 30.7 points per game, the sixth-highest mark.
Meanwhile, the Packers have allowed a league-low 14.7 points per game, while their 10 sacks rank fifth in the NFL. Jones recently revealed to 105.3 The Fan that he is expecting Clowney to help a struggling pass rush.

The Cowboys will mark Clowney's seventh team in his 12-year career. While he has not lived up to the hype that preceded him being the top overall pick in 2014, he should certainly help a pass rush that has struggled to generate any type of pressure.

The three-time Pro Bowler has recorded 409 total tackles, 272 solo tackles, 108 tackles for loss, 58.0 sacks, 139 quarterback hits, one interception, 15 forced fumbles, nine fumble recoveries, 32 passes defended, and four defensive touchdowns in his career. He is coming off a season in which he finished with 5.5 sacks in 14 games played.
Although he has had a solid career, it is unclear what Clowney has left in the tank.
Furthermore, he is not the type of player who will command double teams and open things up for the rest of the defensive line as Parsons did during his four seasons in Dallas.
Jones' decision to move on from the three-time All-Pro was questionable at the time, and, with how bad the Cowboys' defense has been, it looks more and more like the choice was the wrong move. Clowney is unlikely to fix that.
