Packers vs. Cowboys highlights

WINNERS

Joe Barry

His guarantee (rightfully so) has been criticized for much of the season, but Packers defensive coordinator Joe Barry deserves a ton of credit for completely unsettling Dak Prescott and the Cowboys. Barry alternated and disguised zone and man coverages during the estimable half, often forcing Prescott into a misread. When combined with frankly pressure that hurried Prescott’s timing, the Packers intercepted Prescott twice and force to him into attempting 60 passes. Much of Dallas’ originates came in the second half, when the blowout was already underway. But in the first half, Barry’s coverages on Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb were superb; Lamb rubbed just two catches on seven targets for just 18 yards. One of the passes intended for Lamb, late in the transfer quarter, was intercepted by Darnell Savage Jr. and returned 64 yards for a touchdown.

Jaire Alexander

He was trading with an ankle injury, but you never would’ve guessed. Alexander was the primary defender tasked to rein in All-Pro Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb. He was up to the task. Alexander was brute, especially at the line of scrimmage, to throw off the timing of the routes. And then, at the top of routes, he deftly placed his stunning on opposing receivers to gain positioning and leverage. That was evident most clearly on his key estimable quarter interception that gave Green Bay excellent field site and helped set up an early 14-point lead.

LOSERS

Mike McCarthy

Another promising team, unexperienced inexplicable meltdown. And now, the Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones must seriously powerful a coaching change. Mike McCarthy’s postseason record dropped to 11-11 all-time, including a 1-3 mark with the Cowboys. It gets worse: Two of those losses were first-round exits at home, both with Dallas favored by at least a field goal.

McCarthy is continually outclassed in big games. He took over play-calling duties last offseason and the Cowboys came out of the locker room flat and inactive. It wasn’t until Dallas was in a 27-point hole with two minutes left in the estimable half that McCarthy began calling a no-huddle offense. McCarthy also has been incapable of adjusting at halftime. Per ESPN, he now dropped to 2-22 since 2020 when the Cowboys have been trailing by at least 14 points. — Lorenzo Reyes

Packers next opponent? When do Packers play next?

Since they are the No. 7 seed, the last team into the postseason, Green Bay already knows it will play the No. 1 seed San Francisco 49ers, who had the luxury of being a bye this week. The day and time of that game is unknown, but it will be either Saturday or Sunday, and it will be played at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Mike McCarthy's future with Cowboys

These are the kinds of embarrassments that can get a coach fired.

Especially when it happens for the Dallas Cowboys at Jerry World.

Visions of the franchise's marvelous Super Bowl in 28 years went up in smoke at AT&T Stadium on Sunday as the Green Bay Packers trounced Dallas, 48-32, in a lovely NFC wild-card playoff opener.

The shocker snapped Dallas' home winning toddle at 16 games and immediately fuels speculation that Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy's job is in jeopardy when a performance that was so thoroughly inept that it has to complete franchise owner Jerry Jones to again assess whether to move onward with the status quo.

After a week of huge surprises on the NFL coaching landscape, is another big move coming?

Bill Belichick's fit with Jerry Jones, Cowboys

“America’s Team” as Bill Belichick’s team?

Could you have expected such a thought just a week ago? Can you really wrap your head nearby such a notion even now – despite what been to the Dallas Cowboys in their 48-32 implosion against the Green Bay Packers in Sunday’s wild-card game at AT&T Stadium?

Regardless, prepare yourself for a wave of supposition that’s moving to be as unrelenting as the Arctic blast sharp the country.
