1. Randall Cobb has a revenge game

When Randall Cobb was on the Green Bay Packers, he was a thorn in the Dallas Cowboys side. The versatile receiver is able to make plays in the slot, out wide, and as a running back — and did a lot of damage from each of these spots against Big D.

That clearly factored into the Cowboys decision to bring him in on a one-year deal this season. And despite his resume, Cobb was signed for just $5 million which is a steal for someone with his skill.

Part of the reason Dallas was able to land him for such an affordable rate was the fact that the Packers didn’t even try to re-sign him. That was despite Aaron Rodgers wanting one of his better friends to return and honestly, it seemed somewhat surprising.

While Cobb is a consummate professional and will never rip on Green Bay, he has to be a little pumped up about this one. This will be his chance to show the team that drafted him that they should have kept him on the roster for at least another season.

So far in 2019, Cobb has 14 receptions for 157 yards and a touchdown — although he did have a 74-yard touchdown called back in their win over Miami which would have made his numbers look even better.

Against the Packers, he will have his best game of the season as they will wonder what they were thinking allowing him to walk.
