The Packers are the first No. 7 seed to win an NFL playoff game. That means the Cowboys are the first team to lose to a No. 7 seed in the playoffs.The Packers currently have the longest unbeaten streak at AT&T Stadium, and that includes regular-season and playoff games with the Cowboys and a Super Bowl. I'll let the sports pundits chew over those Deeper Implications. The Packers led 27-0 after a pick-six, 34-10 after the Cowboys did the two-for-one at the half, and 48-16 and the special teams and defense did their job down the stretch. The reserves got meaningful playoff minutes in the fourth quarter, when the Cowboys had to use a lot of clock to score those touchdowns, and the special teams, by recovering the onside kicks, made sure the Cowboys had to go the length of the field while using up the clock even if the reserves couldn't tally any first downs on offense. There was also this.
The Packers took that opening kickoff and drove 75 yards for a touchdown. After that, the Cowboys pressed the entire game and never made it competitive. That led to a blowout win that we'll be talking about for months, maybe years.
