However, they had a flat start , with the Packers taking a 13-0 lead following a touchdown reception by Green Bay wide receiver Romeo Doubs in the second period. That would have been a 14-point lead, but Cowboys defensive back Juanyeh Thomas blocked the extra-point attempt by Packers kicker Brandon McManus . Dallas defensive back Markquese Bell then took the ball to the house to give the Cowboys their first two points of the contest.
It also appears that Thomas has a penchant for pulling off such plays, as pointed out by Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas Morning News, who brought up Thomas' blocking a New York Giants ' field goal attempt back in the 2023 NFL season .
Fans had a lot to say about the huge plays by Thomas and Bell.

If the Cowboys are to turn their season around, they can benefit from such heads-up plays.
Dallas lost two of its first three games of the season. The first won was at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles on the road and the second was to the Chicago Bears , also away from Arlington.
