The Green Bay Packers dominated the Dallas Cowboys during Sunday’s wild-card round to advance in the NFL playoffs and send “America’s Team” into disarray, while later, the Detroit Lions edged past the Los Angeles Rams to win their first playoff game in 32 years. History was made on Sunday as the Packers became the first No. 7 seed to win an NFL playoff game following their 48-32 wild-card victory over the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The victory was a shocking one – in both its comprehensive nature and the result – and could be the impetus for change in the Cowboys organization, with head coach Mike McCarthy’s future in doubt now. And later in the day, the Lions defeated the Los Angeles Rams 24-23 at Ford Field in Detroit, giving the franchise and its fans their first taste of playoff success since 1991. The Packers will face the No. 1 seeded 49ers (12-5) in the NFL divisional round next week in San Francisco. Detroit will host the winner of Monday’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Philadelphia Eagles Wild Card round game in the Divisional round next week. Here are some of the highlights from Sunday’s games.
