The upcoming Sunday Night Football game is poised to be one of the highlights of the 2025 NFL schedule, as Micah Parsons and the Green Bay Packers (2-1) visit the Dallas Cowboys (1-2) in a much-anticipated matchup. This is Parsons’ first trip back to Dallas after his unexpected trade right before the season began, adding an extra layer of excitement to an already intense rivalry.
Both teams come into this game on the heels of disappointing losses in Week 3. The Packers narrowly missed out on a victory against the Cleveland Browns, succumbing 13-10. Quarterback Jordan Love faced immense pressure, enduring five sacks while throwing for 183 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Despite an unremarkable game from Parsons, who managed two tackles and two QB hits, the Packers’ defense largely held strong, limiting the Browns to 221 total yards.
For the Cowboys, a victory in Week 4 is crucial to reviving their season, which already seems to be faltering. Owner Jerry Jones has stated that no major celebrations are planned for Parsons’ return. Adding to the Cowboys’ challenges, they will be without star wideout CeeDee Lamb for three to four weeks due to an ankle injury, and rookie guard Tyler Booker, who is out for four to six weeks with a similar ailment.
Defensively, the Cowboys are struggling, conceding 92 points over three games — the fifth-most in the league. They are currently two games behind the undefeated Eagles and one game behind the Washington Commanders in the NFC East standings, making this game pivotal for their divisional hopes.
The game is set to kick off on Sunday, September 28, at 8:20 p.m. ET at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The matchup will be broadcast live on NBC, with streaming options available on Peacock and NFL+.
