TIME CHANGE: Packers vs Cowboys – Schedule Advisory Due to Humberto
Arlington, TX — Week 4 delivers a classic NFC matchup as the Green Bay Packers travel to face the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium. The rivalry is already heated, and now there’s a weather twist: Tropical Storm Humberto is threatening heavy rain, strong winds, and travel disruptions across North Texas.
As of now, kickoff is set for Sunday, September 28, 2025, at 3:25 PM CDT (4:25 PM ET). The NFL and meteorological agencies are closely monitoring Humberto’s path. The league’s top priority is the safety of players, staff, and fans; therefore, the kickoff time may be adjusted (earlier/later or moved to a different day) depending on storm conditions and local infrastructure.
Storylines to Watch
Jordan Love vs. Dak Prescott
Two contrasting styles—one leaning on RPO/quick game rhythm, the other on timing and anticipation. If travel and warm-up routines are disrupted, each QB’s ability to find an early rhythm could determine the opening drives.
Packers’ offense vs. Dallas pressure
Even with the roof closed, crowd noise indoors plus the Cowboys’ pass rush (Micah Parsons & Co.) remain a major test for Green Bay’s offensive line.
Run game and ball security
With rain before and after gate times, damp gear and surfaces can elevate turnover risk on special teams. Possession control may be the decisive edge.
Weather & Venue Impact
-
AT&T Stadium has a retractable roof, so on-field playing conditions may be mitigated if the roof is closed.
However, strong winds, heavy rain, and lightning can still affect team travel, gate operations, security procedures, and backup power logistics.
If outdoor winds become too severe, the NFL could shift the kickoff to ensure operations (power, transportation, emergency medical access) run safely.
Fan Experience & Contingency Plans
-
Parking & Gates: Opening times may change; follow updates from the Cowboys, Packers, and the NFL (apps & social channels).
Tickets: All tickets will be honored if the game moves to a different time or date.
What to Bring: Prioritize ponchos/rain jackets (umbrellas are often restricted). Build in extra travel time due to potential congestion on I-30/I-20.
Tailgating: Open-flame rules may tighten under high winds—check morning advisories.
Broadcast
The game is slated for FOX in the Sunday afternoon window, with market-dependent streaming options (e.g., NFL+ in the U.S. and local rightsholders). Any time change will be announced alongside updated channel/stream details.
Odds & Series Notes
-
Spread (reference): Cowboys -3.0 (home edge; weather could move the number).
Over/Under (reference): 45.5 — operational impacts from the storm could push this lower near kickoff.
Playoff history: Green Bay has held an edge in several recent postseason meetings, adding spice to this Arlington rematch.
Game Schedule (Subject to Weather Updates)
