Packers Fans Can Rewatch Aaron Rodgers Dismantling the Cowboys in 2016 Playoffs Tonight
By Will Coleman
Remeber the last time the Cowboys were actual Super Bowl contenders? Ah, yes, the 2016-17 season. Dak Prescott was Offensive Rookie of the Year, Jason Garrett won Coach of the Year and Dallas was the NFC's No. 1 overall seed. That all went downhill faster than anyone expected, as the Packers spoiled the Cowboys' best season since the Tony Romo-Terrell Owens days.
In large part thanks to the heroic efforts of quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Mason Crosby's blessed leg, Green Bay upended Dallas to advance to the NFC title game. If you're a Packers fan or just looking to watch some all-time classic postseason football, this game re-airs Thursday night on FS1 at 8 pm EST.
In the 2014 Divisional Round, there was "Dez Caught It." Then in the 2016 Playoffs, the @packers and Cowboys met in another classic.

Rodgers and Prescott were both terrific, despite each tossing an interception. The quarterbacks combined for 657 passing yards, as they paced the two offenses through a back-and-forth Divisional Round game.
The last three drives are what make this game so special. First, Mason Crosby gave Green Bay a three-point lead on an improbable 56-yard field goal. Dan Bailey returned the favor with a 52-yarder inside the final minute, but Crosby hit from 51 yards out as time expired to give the Packers the win.
2️⃣ more days until Packer football!?
