Some very interesting statistics about the tendencies of the teams and the officiating crew assigned to Cowboys at Packe Via @WerderEdNFL on X

What happened: Ed Werder highlighted pregame officiating tendencies and team penalty trends ahead of the scheduled regular-season meeting between the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers. Referee Craig Wrolstad is assigned to lead the crew for the matchup with Dak Prescott under center for Dallas.

Why it matters: Officiating crew tendencies on holding, pass interference, and pre-snap infractions can shape offensive rhythm and third-down discipline for both clubs as the Packers and Cowboys prepare for their Sunday night matchup. Penalty margin remains a key swing factor as both NFC contenders jockey for early-season positioning.

What to watch: Dallas and Green Bay kick off their scheduled regular-season contest on Sunday night with a 0-0 slate.
