The Packers won their last two regular-season games and that earned them an opportunity to face the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card game.

Nobody expected the Packers to beat the Cowboys in Dallas, as the Cowboys had been undefeated at hom in the regular season, and most of their victories were blowouts.
