Packers Narrowly Defeat Cowboys 34-31

“Because having a guy like Aaron, this offense is getting to a point where as long as we have time and downs, I’m completely confident that we’re going to be able to make a play”.

Prescott threw for 302 yards while becoming the first rookie in the Super Bowl era with three TD passes in a playoff game. But he did little else wrong.

A Mason Crosby kick in the last second of the game, was the defining moment of a game that saw the Cowboys come from 21-3 and 28-13 down to level the match at 28-28 with 90 seconds to go. He was right about that shootout loss, when he settled in and threw four touchdown passes after his only interception. He also had two touchdowns as host Pittsburgh dispatched Miami 30-12. Our great players are stepping up.

First, Crosby hit a 56-yard field goal to give the Packers a 31-28 lead with under two minutes left. Rodgers’ one thought with 35 seconds remaining? The Cowboys have a dynamic offense this season, led by a pair of rookies, quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott. But Prescott threw a costly third-quarter interception.

Rodgers has been the hottest quarterback in football since guaranteeing his team would run the table when they sat at 4-6.

The Packers meet the Atlanta Falcons with an appearance in the Super Bowl on the line next weekend. When he lost his favorite receiver Jordy Nelson to injury during the Giants game last week, he not only wasn’t rattled, he seemed to get better. Dallas went up there, it was a back-and-forth affair. “They’ve found a way to get better and better throughout the season and played unbelievable down the stretch and been really tough to stop”.

McCarthy passed Vince Lombardi and Mike Holmgren on Green Bay’s coaching victory list with his 10th post-season win. Dez Bryant didn’t play in the first meeting October 16 because of a knee injury.

Then on Rodgers’ 34-yard touchdown pass to Richard Rodgers, the Cowboys were offside at the snap, and Aaron Rodgers took full advantage of the free play.

Rodgers sounded more impressed with the catch than the throw.

Green Bay drove 90 yards the second time it had the ball.

That’s certainly more than enough time to run a few plays and take a couple of shots at the end zone, but that doesn’t make the decision to spike it any better.

Cowboys fans who attended Sunday’s home loss to the Packers got a double whammy. “If the clock is going and you need a timeout to get yourself in field goal range you have that one still available to you”.

But once the deficit reached 21-3, the Cowboys steadied themselves a bit.

“They were off this last week, and they’re hosting the game (Sunday), so there’s extra pressure on them as the No. 1 seed to win”, Rodgers said. Rodgers said it again after the game on Sunday.

The latter pass was over the middle and for a first down.

Packers: On the arm of Rodgers.

The Cowboys scoring has come from two Dan Bailey field goals and a 40 yard pass from Dak Prescott to Dez Bryant.
