The Green Bay Packers have recently disclosed additional alarming information regarding coach and player.
Texas’s Arlington (AP) Growing up, Aaron Jones was a huge fan of the Dallas Cowboys and Emmitt Smith.
The running back from Green Bay discovered a novel and extremely agonizing method to punish the previous squad of the all-time leading rusher.
In the Packers’ thrilling 48-32 wild-card victory on Sunday, Jones ran for three touchdowns, Jordan Love, making his postseason debut, threw for three more, and Darnell Savage returned an interception 64 yards for a score. The Cowboys haven’t lost at home since the 2022 season.
Jones, who has 488 yards in four career games against the Cowboys, referred to his late father’s squad as “my dad’s team.” It became my team because you always aspire to be like your father. It’s a full circle moment for me because I hold Dallas in high regard. It seems familiar.
even when playing a team that had won sixteen straight games at home.
Next weekend, Green Bay (10-8) will travel to San Francisco, the number one seed, for the divisional round.
Again, Dak Prescott and the No. 2 seed Cowboys (12-6) threw three mostly empty touchdown passes after throwing two interceptions.
The Cowboys lost at home for the first time since they were defeated by Tampa Bay and the now-retired Tom Brady 16 months ago, and it also marked the most points the team has given up in a postseason contest. 38 was the previous peak.
The Cowboys didn’t trail by more than eight points at AT&T Stadium this season before falling behind 27-0 in the first half. The Cowboys haven’t advanced to an NFC championship game since the most recent of their five Super Bowl victories, which was 28 years ago.
After Dallas lost its home playoff opener for the second time in three postseasons under former Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy, concerns will be raised about McCarthy’s future as a head coach.
Dallas is the first team to qualify for a conference title game despite winning at least 12 games in three straight playoff seasons.
In the last two weeks, the Cowboys stormed to the NFC East title and had an opportunity to play at home at least twice in the postseason. Rather, they enter an unexpectedly uncertain offseason.
To be honest, Prescott was just shocked. “We were beaten right from the start of the match. There is no getting around it. It can’t be made any more pleasant. Surprise.
A week after being admitted to the hospital due to a chest injury, Romeo Doubs recorded a career-high 151 receiving yards as the Packers triumphed, finishing 6-2 in the regular season to secure the NFC’s final playoff spot.
Love declared, “We came in here thinking we were going to dominate.” “Many people were writing us off, but we weren’t interested in that.”
Six trips to AT&T Stadium have resulted in six wins for the Packers, including a 2010 Super Bowl victory over Pittsburgh. After Aaron Rodgers led them to a 34-31 divisional victory in 2016, Prescott’s rookie year, and Dallas was the NFC’s top seed, they now have two playoff victories over the Cowboys.
The Packers allowed a 21-3 lead to evaporate. With their 48-16 lead in the fourth quarter and two late touchdowns from Dallas, these Packers, led by the four-time MVP’s successor, left little room for doubt.
Jones stated, “We knew it would take time.” Throughout the season, you could hear me and the other players saying things like, “We were right there, we’re right there, we’re right there.” We succeeded in overcoming that obstacle.
In the playoffs, Green Bay tied its 2010 Super Bowl-winning squad for the most points scored in a game against the fifth-best defense in the NFL. That was a 48-21 triumph against top-seeded Atlanta in the divisional round, which was also played on the road.
Before the end of the Green Bay Packers’ 17-9 home victory over Chicago last week, which guaranteed a postseason berth, Doubs had returned to the sidelines following his hospital visit. At the half, he had 102 yards. It was seven better than the player’s prior best in his second year.
The fourth-year quarterback completed 16 of 21 for 272 yards as the Packers scored touchdowns on six of their first seven offensive possessions in their highest-scoring game since 2014. Love got off to a good start with first-half catches of 22, 26, and 39 yards.
Prescott’s first interception of Jaire Alexander at the Dallas 19-yard line, which came after the player’s dubious arrival due to an ankle sprain during the week, set up one of them.
The Cowboys led by ten points before halftime, but were eventually defeated by a 46-yard grab by Doubs early in the second half. Dontayvion Wicks, Luke Musgrave, and Doubs all had touchdown catches.
With nine touchdowns and 118 yards gained through rushes, Jones passed the century mark in all four of his career games against the Cowboys.
After McCarthy was fired during the 2018 season, Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur took over in 2019 and said, “That was fun.” “To stage a show of that caliber. Not a happier person for them.
Prescott attempted a slant to wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, and the crowd beneath the retractable roof on a chilly Dallas day had already been hushed.
With 1:50 remaining before halftime, Savage, who had not intercepted a pass in the regular season for the first time in his five-year career, took the lead and ran untouched for a 27-0 victory.
“They were upset with me because I didn’t celebrate,” Savage remarked. “I said, ‘We have to continue playing.'” However, I believe there was a shift in the game’s momentum.
After completing 41 out of 60 passes for 403 yards, Prescott found tight end Jake Ferguson for all three of his touchdowns.
