The Green Bay Packers are back in the NFC title game.
Mason Crosby's 56- and 51-yard field goals late in the fourth quarter sent Green Bay past the Dallas Cowboys, 34-31, in Saturday's Divisional Round matchup.
Dak Prescott led a 15-point Cowboys comeback, culminating in a 52-yard Dan Bailey field goal with 44 seconds left. But Aaron Rodgers saved his best for last, capping off a 43-yard, 32-second drive with an impossible 36-yard sideline bullet to Jared Cook. The play set up Crosby's winning kick with three seconds left.

The Giants had the Boys number this year.
But Cedar, you were always the change. You are my legacy. See, now this whole thing was never about me ... it was about folks like you ... runnin' around, gettin' a clipboard, poundin' the pavement an' organizin'. It dudn't matter what color you are as long as its not white, what faith you are as long as you're not Christian or Jewish, who or what animal or what age you love so long as it's not an adult opposite gender whose not Christian or Jewish or white. My faults as a president are your faults as an activist. This has always been your fault.
LOL, I don’t know why, that image somehow is going to give me nightmares!
I think I’ll ponder that as I watch Pittsburgh and KC.
For the first time this year, I regret my boycott of the NFL.
Sounds like it was a great game.
Rodgers is really at the top of his game right now. He is making plays and that is what it takes when you do not have the best defense.
Does defense win championships? Conventional wisdom says so, but I would not count out Rodgers at this point. Matt Ryan has had a great season. Brady and Big Ben are both great. Hard to find a better list of QB’s in NFL history than what we have next weekend if the Steelers advance.
I will not rule out KC in this game (I like them), but the difference in QB play will become more evident next week and in the big game.
Jared Cook was the HERO of the game....WHAT A CATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Prayers up for the DFW area. The Cowboys loss does mot mean much. Tornado on the ground heading directly toward Arlington and Grand Prairie.
I’m a big Packer/Rodgers fan and I almost couldn’t watch that ending!!
I get so worked up, that my fav Super Bowl games are when I don’t have a favorite. I’m from Boston, but married New Jersey and am a big follower of the Giants and Jets. Having them out of the playoffs was going to make the divisional races easy on my blood pressure. But Rodgers and the Packers, with their Hail Mary’s, and field goals with the clock at 0 while the ball is in the air— will send me over the edge! I’m delighted they won, but I am going to be a wreck if they go further!
Can it get any worse?
80% of Maine...the Second Congressional District...went for Trump, gave him one electoral vote, and is Patriots Country.
It’s a start.....
I hope not.
At least Jerryworld is good for something to tonight.
Gotta hand it to the Cowboy's offense: they never said DIE and they kept on comin'... I pronounced it a rout mid 2nd quarter -- boy was I wrong! Glad I kept watching, great game!
This Green Bay Packers fan thinks Cowboy fans have nothing to hang their head about. That Dak Prescott is one hell of a rookie QB. Keep him, let Tony Romo go. Dallas has a bright future ahead of it. See you again next year! :-)
Lol, I just wanted the cowboys to lose. I’m a raiders fan living in Texas.
“WHAT A CATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Yes, but you must mean what a throw!!!!!!!
Cowboys had one of the weakest schedules in the NFL. I knew they would get bounced right away. Fake team.
