The Cowboys' furious comeback, the Packers' persistent survival, it all needs a deep rewind
Спорт
For being such a legendary NFL franchise, the Dallas Cowboys have had some trash postseason luck over the past twenty years. From botched snaps, poor quarterback play, and controversial calls, Dallas couldn’t catch a break.
Entering the 2016 season, the Cowboys’ luck finally appeared to be changing thanks to a rookie quarterback they were reluctant to play, Dak Prescott. Prescott led the Cowboys to a fantastic 2016 season, poised to make a run for the Super Bowl until they ran into the NFL’s cockroach - the Green Bay Packers.
What followed next was a chaotic Divisional matchup filled with an improbable comeback, ridiculous late lead changes, and a miraculous catch. But to fully appreciate the madness of this game, it’s essential to understand the history between these storied franchises and understand the journey of the folks that got us to this crazed moment. To do that, we gotta rewind.

The most surprising thing to me in all of this is the realization that Dak is currently in his seventh season. I still think of him as relatively new, but he is a bona fide veteran (but still no closer to a championship).

“The (2010) Packers never lost a game by more than four points, and never trailed by more than seven the entire season, becoming the only team since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 to accomplish this. All six of their regular season losses were by a combined 20 points.” That team was literally historic.

They proceeded to follow this game up with a stinker of all stinkers against Atlanta. Don't remember 44-21 and being down 28-0 at half? Rodgers is a bonafide STAT PADDER. Only care about that TD to int ratio. Doesn't take risks. Rodgers has been a totally different quarterback the last 5-6 years. His focus has shifted.

You forgot to mention that BOTH these teams played each other on week 6 that season at Lambeau. The Cowboys obliterated the Packers until the fourth quarter, ending 30-16, thus making the Cowboys huge favorites in the NFC Divisional
When Rodgers was at the top of his game, no other QB can match him. The accuracy, intelligence, and clutch is incredible
Mike McCarthy was playing his future team in this game
In 2015, Romo was rushed back from injury to try and save the season. He suffered another serious injury on Thanksgiving while getting blown out by the Panthers. That was his last start. After an all pro season, he started only 4 more games. Pretty bummer ending that no one deserves.
Last nights Cowboys/TB game was very satisfying to see. As a fan since the 80s, we needed that game to keep hope alive!

Only 2 loses in the past 10 years have really killed me as a Dallas fan, and both were Divisional games against GB. I hate seeing my team lose, but honestly this 2016 game was the last time i really felt shitty after they lost.

Run the table rodgers was genuinely the greatest qb play I’ve ever seen in my life. If it was just the second half of the season he would’ve ran away with mvp, and that’s with no disrespect to Matt Ryan

Wish there was time to show the Sean Lee sack on that last drive. It's unreal that Rodgers took that blind-side hit without losing his one-handed grip on the ball.

2014 and 2016 were truly squandered opportunities. Yes, the Cowboys just recently lost in hilarious fashion to the 49ers twice in a row, but those two mid-2010s squads were legit, well-constructed contenders. If they had managed to squeak by Green Bay, I think they put up a decent fight against those very talented Seahawks and Falcons teams
