Packers vs. Cowboys Playoff Matchup Preview

Dallas jumped out to a 17-6 lead at halftime and never looked back. It was one of Prescott’s most impressive performances of the season given he went on the road and looked completely in control the entire game. Prescott finished 18-of-27 for 247 yards, 3 touchdowns and 1 interception. Elliott had a massive day as well with 28 carries for 157 yards.

Aaron Rodgers was 31-of-42 for 294 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception. The Packers rushing attack was never able to get going with Eddie Lacy getting the majority of the carries.

The Cowboys face a much different Packers team with the way Green Bay’s offense is playing. Green Bay has won seven straight games heading into the playoffs and bring a lot of momentum into the matchup with the Cowboys.
