Get ready for a week full of talk about homecomings. Mike McCarthy spent nearly his entire Monday press conference fielding questions about his imminent return to Lambeau Field, and while he tried to write the Week 10 trip off as any other game, he ended up getting emotional about his time in Green Bay. But there’s plenty more to preview in this clash of traditional NFC foes, including the chance for Dallas to finally exorcise the demons of Aaron Rodgers, and the key piece of the Packers puzzle who will be missing from the Green Bay defense.
Elsewhere, two other upcoming opponents suffered losses on Monday: the Giants will be without one of the stars of their secondary, and the Colts will be coming to town next month under the leadership of a very unlikely interim coach. We’ll get into which Cowboys will benefit the most from the bye week rest, we’re looking at the new “Four Horsemen” who are playing a big role in the Dallas offense, we’re previewing every remaining game on the schedule, and we’re getting a temperature reading from McCarthy on Odell Beckham Jr. That’s all on tap in News and Notes.
