Lacy, Starks lead Packers past Cowboys 28-7
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Eddie Lacy ran for 124 yards and a touchdown, fellow running back James Starks added two scores and the Green Bay Packers beat the Dallas Cowboys 28-7 Sunday.
The Packers (9-4) have a one-game lead in the NFC North over Minnesota after their second straight victory.
With 435 yards and 29 first downs, Green Bay got better production out of its inconsistent offense with coach Mike McCarthy assuming play-calling duties again.
The Packers were still hampered at times by penalties and problems in short-yardage situations.
But the defense and running game came up with big plays in the fourth quarter. Dallas' touchdown came on Robert Turbin's 7-yard run midway through the third quarter to make it 14-7.
The Cowboys (4-9) suffered a setback to their chances of winning the mediocre NFC East.
