GREEN BAY, Wis. - DeMarco Murray and Davante Adams exchanged touchdowns in the third quarter as the Dallas Cowboys lead the Green Bay Packers 21-20 in an NFC Divisional game at Lambeau Field on Sunday.
Murray capped off an efficient 80 yard drive begun with Dez Bryant's 20 yard reception. Joseph Randle carried for 13 across midfield and Jason Witten's 15 yard catch brought Dallas to the Packers 27.
Murray's 26 yard rush over right end brought Dallas to the Packers 1 to set up his rushing score.
Green Bay would respond on their ensuing drive, a 90 yard charge that ended in Davante Adams' 46 yard touchdown strike, a catch-and-run play that evaded the Cowboys secondary traffic and into a Lambeau leap that brought the Pack an inch closer.
Murray was stripped of the football by Julius Peppers on the Cowboys 44 near the open of the third quarter. Peppers stripped quarterback Tony Romo on the Cowboys' first possession, though Dallas would recover. The fumble was Murray's 6th this season, the most among pro backs.
Eddie Lacy powered over left end for a 29 yard gash to the Cowboys 16 and John Kuhn carried for 4 more over the middle. Davante Adams caught to the Dallas 4, after which a fight ensued that drew a dead-ball flag against Packers lineman T.J. Lang that pushed Green Bay back to a 3rd-and-16 at the Cowboys 22.
Lacy caught for 10 yards to set up Mason Crosby's 30 yard field goal to bring the Packers within 1.
