What happened: NBC's Sunday Night Football broadcast team revisited the 1993 origin of Green Bay's signature Lambeau Leap celebration ahead of this weekend's primetime matchup. The Green Bay Packers host the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at 7 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.

Why it matters: The primetime broadcast pits two longtime NFC rivals against each other as Dallas looks to rebound from a 2-3 start following its Week 5 loss to Tampa Bay. Green Bay enters the home showcase without running back Josh Jacobs, who has missed five games on the exempt list.

By the numbers: Dallas enters Week 6 at 2-3 after allowing 419 total yards and 24 points in Week 5.

What to watch: The Cowboys and Packers kick off Sunday at 7 p.m. ET at Lambeau Field on NBC and Peacock.
