Packers at Cowboys: Highlights, score and recap

On Sunday at AT&T Stadium, the Green Bay Packers rallied to defeat the Dallas Cowboys. What came out of this playoff rematch?

We were looking forward to the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys renewing acquaintances on Sunday. This pair of defending division champions and postseason foes did not disappoint on Sunday.

The Cowboys jumped out to a 21-6 lead thanks to three touchdown passes by second-year quarterback Dak Prescott. But with Aaron Rodgers looking like the star that he is, the Packers came all the way back for a scintillating 35-31 victory over the stunned Cowboys.

Highlights

Three Stars

1. Aaron Rodgers

His mastery of the Cowboys continues. Rodgers helped his team rally from a 21-6 deficit for an amazing 35-31 win thanks to a nine-play, 75-yard drive that culminated with a 12-yard TD pass with 11 seconds to play. The veteran quarterback threw for 221 yards and three touchdowns and also bailed out his team with an 18-yard run during the game-winning drive.

2. Aaron Jones

The Packers have been waiting for someone to step up in the backfield and the rookie from UTEP came through with 125 yards rushing and one touchdown against Dallas’ shaky defense.

3. Davante Adams

Off that Thursday night game in which he suffered a concussion, Adams was targeted 11 times and caught seven passes for 66 yards and two touchdowns. That includes a 12-yard score with 11 seconds to play to give Green Bay the lead on the way to a four-point win.

Odds

The Cowboys were but a one-point favorite to avenge last season postseason setback. But even more intriguing was the over/under line at 52.
