What time and channel is the Packers playoff game today vs. Cowboys?
By Josh Wilson
At one point, the Green Bay Packers had lost six of eight. Looking at the reality of a 3-6 record through their first nine games, an appearance in the NFL Playoffs looked far-fetched for the Packers.
Against the odds and down to the wire, the Packers pulled it together, rallied for a winning, 9-8 record, and snuck into the postseason in one of the wild card slots.
Jordan Love had one of the biggest jumps in expected points added per play in the second half of the season among NFL quarterbacks and really appeared to settle into his role as the starting quarterback in Green Bay.
The reality still is that there are massive shoes to fill with the franchise. Love is stepping into shoes that were occupied previously by Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers, both of whom won titles for Green Bay. The shoes are big in general, but the expectations rise even more in the postseason.
This should be a genuinely good game against the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys are complete on both ends, but the Packers are not far behind. Dallas ranked second in EPA per play this season, Green Bay seventh. The real disparity are the defenses, though, with the Cowboys boasting the fifth best defense in terms of EPA per play, Green Bay ranking 24th. Love will have his work cut out for him on Sunday against what might be the best defense remaining in the postseason with the Browns eliminated.
