These Green Bay Packers are unfazed and may be putting the rest of the NFL playoff field on scrutinize with what they did in Sunday’s first half alongside the Dallas Cowboys.
Never mind that the Packers have the youngest team in the NFL. Or that they have a first-year starting quarterback. Or that their defense was criticized for a lot of the season. Or that they're playing a Dallas Cowboys team in the NFC wild-card playoff game that hasn't lost at home all season, has the No. 1-ranked scoring offense and a top five defense.
What did Jordan Love and the No. 7-seeded Packers do in the safe half Sunday against the No. 2 Dallas Cowboys? They pounded Mike McCarthy's Cowboys and lead 27-7.
Love, whose star continues to get brighter with each game, was spectacular in completing 13 of 16 passes for 185 yards and a touchdown, Aaron Jones continued to make AT&T Stadium his personal playground in scoring two touchdowns — he went on to catch three in the 48-32 win — and interceptions by Jaire Alexander and Darnell Savage were game-changing. Savage was returned his pick for a touchdown that made it 27-0.
Before the Cowboys scored a touchdown to get on the lodging as time expired in the half, the Packers led 27-0. The 27-point deficit was Dallas' largest in the postseason real 1969, according to the Fox broadcast.
The Packers, with their explosive plays on offense and defense, silenced the AT&T Stadium crowd.
