The Dallas Cowboys suffered real disillusionment by suffering a heavy 48-32 loss to the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the NFL playoffs on Sunday at AT&T Stadium.
The Packers managed to do what no team in the NFL has been able to accomplish this season: beat the Cowboys at home. Indeed, the Texans won their eight games in their home based in Arlington during the regular schedule.

The performance of star quarterback Dak Prescott was like his teammates: very disappointing. The latter had a more than complicated game, especially in the first half where he only managed to amass 87 yards through the air, in addition to suffering two interceptions.
One of these directly led to a Packers touchdown at the end of the second quarter. Darnell Savage caught Prescott’s pass before making a 64-yard run to reach the Dallas end zone.
The Packers offense tormented the Cowboys defense, scoring a total of seven touchdowns. Running back Aaron Jones had a successful afternoon, as evidenced by his three majors and his 118 yards rushing.
Prescott’s opponent, Jordan Love, was complicit in three touchdowns for his team. He finished the game with 16 successful passes on 21 attempts and gains of 272 yards.
Dontayvion Wicks, Luke Musgrave and Romeo Doubs also joined in the fun for the visitors.
The Cowboys tried to make a comeback in the fourth quarter when Jake Ferguson scored two touchdowns (for a total of three during the game) in the space of a little more than two minutes, but the damage was already done. Tony Pollard also provided the response for his team.
