The Green Bay Packers played an American football game against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15 of the 2013 National Football League (NFL) season on December 15, 2013, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Both teams entered Week 15 with middling records, with the Packers sitting at 6–6–1 and the Cowboys at 7–6. The Packers started the season strong, yet a broken collarbone by quarterback Aaron Rodgers in Week 8 saw the Packers lose or tie five straight games under three different back-up quarterbacks. Both teams were coming off a loss in Week 14, although each of their playoff hopes were still alive and both still had a chance to win their respective divisions.
The Cowboys started the game strong, taking a 26–3 lead going into halftime, with kicker Dan Bailey converting four field goals. Matt Flynn, who was playing in place of the injured Rodgers, helped the Packers storm back in the second half. He led the Packers to five touchdown drives, including four touchdown passes. The Packers defense was able to hold the Cowboys to just 10 points in the second half, with Tramon Williams sealing the victory with an interception of quarterback Tony Romo with less than two minutes left in the game. The victory matched the Packers team record for the largest comeback at 23 points and helped them maintain the possibility of winning the NFC North and making the playoffs. Both teams entered the final week of the season with a chance to win their division; the Packers won, while the Cowboys lost. The Packers would make the playoffs yet lose in the first round to the San Francisco 49ers.
