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.

Next year the Giants should be better and take the division.

Yes, I didn't understand the spike of the ball on first down either. Gave away a down for no good reason. There were about 45 seconds left and Dallas also had a timeout. They could have run another play quickly without using too much time.
Another key play was the blindside sack of Rodgers late in the fourth quarter, yet he managed to hold onto the ball. If he fumbles, Dallas likely recovers and scores.

Best 3 Chamionship games, to my mind, have been between Packers and Cowboys. 1966, 1967(IceBowl) and 2016.
Packers 3-0; Cowboys 0-3.
