Dallas Cowboys fans don\u2019t want to be reminded of the last time they played their Week 4 opponents, the Green Bay Packers.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, with the announcement of the officiating crew for Sunday Night Football, it will be impossible not to.<\/p>\n

The Week 4 showdown will feature Ron Torbet\u2019s crew, which is the same one that officiated the Packers’ 48-32 wild-card playoff victory over Dallas on January 14, 2024.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

There was also an instance where Jaire Alexander made contact with Brandin Cooks, helping him secure an interception. Fans were frustrated that wasn\u2019t called and believed Torbert\u2019s crew wasn\u2019t consistently enforcing the rules.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at Torbert\u2019s full crew:<\/p>\n
