Dallas Cowboys fans don’t want to be reminded of the last time they played their Week 4 opponents, the Green Bay Packers.

Dallas is historically bad when Torbert is in charge, going 1-5 in the six games Dak Prescott has started under his crew.

Their last meeting with Green Bay was especially frustrating with the Packers seemingly getting favorable calls. One instance was early in the game when DaRon Bland was called for illegal contact, wiping out a sack.

There was also an instance where Jaire Alexander made contact with Brandin Cooks, helping him secure an interception. Fans were frustrated that wasn’t called and believed Torbert’s crew wasn’t consistently enforcing the rules.

Here’s a look at Torbert’s full crew:

Referee: Ron Torbert
Umpire: Barry Anderson
Down Judge: Frank LeBlanc
Line Judge: Brian Bolinger
Field Judge: Ryan Dickson
