I think Dallas' secondary has gone overrated this year given how much Micah Parsons helps their job by basically being an automatic 2-second pressure. Green Bay did a great job neutralizing that and Love delivered a number of accurate throws under pressure, to open receivers over the middle of the field because the Cowboys aided that effort by deciding to play way too much soft zone for whatever reason. They weren't exactly going up against track stars; Green Bay's main deep threat Christian Watson was coming off injury and didn't play a ton of snaps, after all.

So while the defense was the main culprit (and the scheme moreso than anything else) of the loss, Dak still struggled to find much momentum in that first half which largely allowed GB to run up the big early lead. It felt like Dak was thrown off by not being on the same page with Ceedee Lamb early, and unfortunately on the pick-6 it felt like he forced the ball in to Lamb after a couple nice completions to Gallup helped the offense finally get something going. Imo if Dak was more willing to go with the flow in that first half the deficit wouldn't have been as bad, so to me he deserves a fair chunk of the blame for the loss as well.
