Week 3 appears to be one of the biggest games on the schedule for the Packers. Last year the Packers went down the Irving, Texas (wait, I thought they played in Dallas?) to meet the Cowboys in a battle of 10-1 teams. Many thought this game would be a preview of the NFC Championship Game later in the season. Unfortunately not, as the Cowboys blew the divisional playoff game against the eventual Super Bowl-champion New York Giants. The Cowboys started out fast and the Packers could not keep up, with the Cowboys taking the 37-27 victory and eventually control of the No. 1-seed in the NFC. Not that it helped them, of course. This game also gave Packer fans a taste of the future. Former Packers quarterback Brett Favre suffered an elbow injury early in the game, paving the way for Aaron Rodgers to bring the Packers to within three points before the Pack Attack eventually succumbed.
