The warmth of the Green Bay Packers’ long win streak over the Chicago Bears runs in the background of most every Packers fan’s mind like an unused app. But it’s a bit more interesting to take a look at the past 10 meetings with the Dallas Cowboys, in which the Packers are 9-1.

Why? Because unlike the Bears, the Cowboys were ususally fielding competitive teams during that stretch. The Bears, well, weren’t.

Heck, even when the streak was broken last year in Week 18, the Bears narrowly won against a beat-up Packers team that was without several starters. The streak was a last-second field goal away from continuing to 12 in a row. (Cue Aaron Rodgers: “I still own you!”)

But because those Cowboys teams over the years were pretty consistently competitive, the series meant plenty of drama, lots of memorable moments and fun stories surrounding those games. Leading into a rematch at Jerry World this Sunday night, I’m going to take a quick look back at those 10 games, just to set the mood.

Nov. 7, 2010: Packers 45, Cowboys 7

This was the beatdown that started it all. Green Bay jumped out on top in the second quarter and never looked back, as James Jones had 123 receiving yards and a score, while running back Brandon Jackson scored two touchdowns. Nick Collins added a scoop and score on a fumble just to rub it in.

Dec. 15, 2013: Packers 37, Cowboys 36

This was a wild one. With Aaron Rodgers out with a healing collarbone, backup quarterback Matt Flynn, signed off the street earlier in the season, engineered a comeback from 23 points down at the half. An electrifying 60-yard run by Eddie Lacy to start the second half led to 34 Packers points over the final two quarters. Sam Shields came down with a pick of Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo with just under 4:00 to play to set up a Lacy touchdown with a minute and a half left on the clock. Cornerback Tramon Williams would ultimately secure the victory by intercepting Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo after having an earlier interception overturned via replay. Game, set, match, and Cowboys wideout Dez Bryant headed to the locker room early in disgust.

Jan. 11, 2015: Packers 26, Cowboys 21

If you’re a Packers fan, you know this game all too well. Why? Because you’ve been hearing about it from disgruntled Cowboys fans for a decade. Cowboys call it the Dez Caught It game; Packers fans call it the Dez Dropped It game. Whatever the case, in a Divisional Playoff matchup, the Cowboys were on the verge of scoring, and whatever Dez Bryant did at the goal line cost him a reception, and Green Bay held on for the 26-21 win fueled by a three-touchdown game by Rodgers. Dallas fans haven’t stopped whining since.

Dec. 13, 2015: Packers 28, Cowboys 7

Less than a year later, with the playoff game still fresh on everyone’s mind, the Packers put away the ‘Boys handily in Week 14. In this one, Lacy ground out 124 yards on the ground with a score, and fellow running back James Starks added one rushing touchdown and one receiving touchdown. The Cowboys would finish the season 4-12.

Oct. 16, 2016: Cowboys 30, Packers 16

Green Bay committed four turnovers in this stinker. Yuck. Cowboys defensive tackle David Irving forced three turnovers and the Cowboys held Lacy to just 65 yards. Through three quarters, the Packers only mustered three field goals.

Jan. 15, 2017: Packers 34, Cowboys 31

After two stinkers in a row between the two teams, this one got back to some drama. In the process, it became one of the most memorable Cowboys-Packers games perhaps since the Ice Bowl. In a 31-31 tie, with seconds ticking off the clock, Rodgers, under pressure, rolled left and fired an absolute dart down the sideline to a tip-toeing Jared Cook, who just managed to stay in bounds. Mason Crosby then made a 51-yard field goal – twice, thanks to a Dallas timeout in a vain effort to rattle the veteran kicker – to walk it off.

Oct. 6, 2019: Packers 34, Cowboys 24

This one was closer than it needed to be. Green Bay manhandled Dallas, cruising to a 31-3 lead into the third quarter, as running back Aaron Jones scored four – count them, four – touchdowns while amassing 182 total yards. And then Dak Prescott and the Cowboys made a furious comeback. A late Prescott interception, his third on the day, helped foil the comeback.

Nov. 13, 2022: Packers 31, Cowboys 28

And still more drama unfolded in this game. In Rodgers’ final season as a Packer, and a season that was going nowhere following five straight losses, the future Hall of Famer led his team to one last dramatic victory over Dallas in Lambeau Field. This was the Christian Watson coming-out game, as the then-rookie went off for three touchdowns to kick off an incredible scoring run as the season wound down. Meanwhile, Jones ran for 138 yards and a touchdown as the Packers overcame a 14-point deficit to pull it out on a Crosby kick in overtime.

Jan. 14, 2024: Packers 48, Cowboys 32

With Aaron Rodgers shipped off to the Jets, Jordan Love got to make a big impression in this Wildcard playoff game. A really big one. Love went 16 0f 21 for 272 yards and three touchdowns for a 157.2 passer rating. Dallas never had a chance, and the score only looked semi-close because of some too-soft garbage time defense by Green Bay. After Jones scored a touchdown each in the first and early in the second quarter, Love, under a heavy blitz, threw a gorgeous pass to Dontayvian Wicks in the end zone to make it a 21-0 game. Moments later, Darnell Savage picked off a Prescott pass and strolled untouched into the end zone. The cherry on top came at the end of the third quarter when somehow the Dallas defense let Luke Musgrave get so open that there wasn’t even a Cowboy on camera with him when he caught it before rolling into the end zone.

Thinking back on all these only makes Sunday night’s matchup with the Cowboys more enticing, Micah Parsons storyline notwithstanding. Here’s hoping for another ‘W’ for this list. And if it happens, we can just call it the Jerry Jones Effect.
