The Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers will clash in a massive game for Week 6 in the NFL 2016 regular season on Sunday. The game will be one of three late afternoon starts this Sunday and should see plenty of fireworks in what is expected to be a tense and fierce encounter. The game has a scheduled start time of 4.25 p.m. ET and takes place from Lambeau Field in Green Bay. The game can be watched on TV on the Fox network or online through live stream via the link below.
The Cowboys will be coming into today's game packed with confidence after successfully taking down the Cincinnati Bengals last week to move to 4-1.
That 28-14 victory was more comprehensive that the final scoreline suggests, and for the opening three quarters it was all one way traffic as the Cowboys defense completely shut down the Bengals offense to see the teams enter the final quarter with the Cowboys 28-0 ahead.
Things will be tight in the NFC East this season and that means the Cowboys will not be able to relax yet, but will be desperate to continue their good form and record their fifth victory of the season here today.
The Packers meanwhile will also be quietly confident, having defeated the Cowboys' division rivals the New York Giants last week. That 23-16 win saw the Packers move to 3-1, and they will believe that in front of their home fans today at Lambeau Field, they will have an excellent chance to record their fourth win of the season so far.
Earlier this week, Week 6 got started with a big game between the Denver Broncos and the San Diego Chargers on Thursday Night Football.
The Broncos came into the game as heavy favorites, with most expecting them to bounce back from their first defeat of the season a week before. However, it became apparent that Denver's first loss was not simply a minor blip, and they now appear to be heading into a slump in form as they were defeated 21-13 by the Chargers.
San Diego were in charge throughout, and heading into the final quarter, the Chargers were 19-3 ahead. The Broncos finally showed some life in offense in the fourth quarter, but 10 points was nowhere near enough to get them back into the game.
That result dropped the Broncos back to 4-2, and simultaneously lifted the Chargers up to 2-4 and gives them a tiny glimmer of hope that this season still holds something for them.
The victory will be sweet relief for San Diego fans, who have witnessed their team constantly choke to give away fourth quarter leads again and again this season to drop to 1-4.
Although there were signs of what had gone on in previous games here, the result was never seriously in doubt. Chargers' fans will still have been holding their breath though when the Broncos shortened the lead to 8 points with 32 seconds left, but a last gasp drive from the Broncos ended with a failed Hail Mary and finally the San Diego faithful were able to breathe again.
The Broncos now have time to rest with an extra long week before returning in Week 7 on Monday Night Football to face the Houston Texans. Meanwhile, the Chargers won't play again until two Sundays from now when they will take on the Atlanta Falcons.
