Packers dominate Cowboys to advance in NFL playoffs and throw Dallas into disarray while Lions defeat Rams in 1st playoff win in 32 years

The Green Bay Packers dominated the Dallas Cowboys during Sunday’s wild-card round to advance in the NFL playoffs and send “America’s Team” into disarray, while later, the Detroit Lions edged past the Los Angeles Rams to win their first playoff game in 32 years.

History was made on Sunday as the Packers became the first No. 7 seed to win an NFL playoff game following their 48-32 wild-card victory over the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The victory was a shocking one – in both its comprehensive nature and the result – and could be the impetus for change in the Cowboys organization, with head coach Mike McCarthy’s future in doubt now.
