NFL wild-card Sunday: Packers dominate Cowboys with 48-32 victory in Dallas
The Packers came out firing on Sunday and did not let up.
Green Bay jumped out to a 27-0 lead in the first half and have simply dominated the Cowboys in all facets, taking their wild-card matchup by a final score of 48-32.
Dallas came into the game with high hopes as the No. 2 seed playing at home, where it went 8-0 this season thanks to a high-powered offense led by QB Dak Prescott.
Instead, it was Jordan Love who starred on Sunday finishing the day by going 16-for-21 for 272 yards and three touchdowns. Plus, the Packer quarterback recorded a passer rating of 157.2.
Green Bay's win now sets up a date next weekend against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium.

 This is the first time the Cowboys have ever allowed 40 points in a playoff game, a fact made worse by the youth of the opponent and that Dallas is playing at home.

I hope that catch finally gets the Dak-Lamb connection going. It's the 2-minute warning and that's his first one of the game. #Cowboys desperately need production from that connection ... or someone else to go off instead.
