Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith vs. Packers OLB Nick Perry: Packers fifth-year linebacker Nick Perry is off to a terrific start, leading the team with 4.5 sacks. He is the right outside linebacker in their 3-4 scheme, and will surely get plenty of one-on-one matchups against Tyron Smith. Smith has been dealing with a back injury early in the season, but remains among the top left tackles in the game. This is a matchup the Cowboys should win, although Perry is having a breakout season.
