Jordan Love Packers wild-card stunner beats Dak Prescott Cowboys 48-32

"Green Bay Packers dominate Dallas Cowboys in 48-32 wild-card stunner, handing Cowboys first home loss since 2022 opener."

The Green Bay Packers secured a wild-card stunner with a 48-32 victory over the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Jordan Love threw three touchdowns, Aaron Jones ran for three more, and Darnell Savage returned an interception 64 yards for a score. This win marks the Cowboys' first home loss since their 2022 opener.

Romeo Doubs had an impressive 151 yards receiving, just a week after being hospitalized with a chest injury. The Packers, finishing the regular season 6-2, secured the NFC's final playoff spot and will visit top-seeded San Francisco in the divisional round next weekend.

The Cowboys, who were the No. 2 seed, fell behind 27-0 in the first half, allowing the most points in a game in the club's postseason history. This loss will raise questions about the future of Dallas coach Mike McCarthy after the Cowboys lost their playoff opener at home for the second time in three postseasons under the former Green Bay coach.

Green Bay, never having lost in six trips to AT&T Stadium, now has two playoff victories over the Cowboys. The Packers matched their Super Bowl-winning team from 2010 for the most points in a playoff game.

Jordan Love, the fourth-year quarterback, finished 16 of 21 for 272 yards as the Packers scored touchdowns on six of their first seven offensive possessions in their highest-scoring game since 2014. Aaron Jones rushed for 118 yards, putting him over the century mark in all four career games against the Cowboys with nine touchdowns.

The Cowboys, who haven't reached an NFC championship since the most recent of their five Super Bowl titles 28 years ago, didn't trail by more than eight points at AT&T Stadium this season before falling behind 27-0 in the first half.

This game will surely go down in history as one of the most surprising playoff victories, marking the end of the Cowboys' impressive regular-season home game winning streak.
