The last time the Packers faced the Cowboys in the playoffs was Jan. 11, 2015 at Lambeau Field.
Dallas lost that game 26-21. The postgame storyline was how Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant was robbed of a catch that would have set the Cowboys up for a first and goal at the one yard line with five minutes to play in the game.
It was ruled a catch. Green Bay challenged the ruling and the refs overturned the call saying he didn’t “maintain possession.” It was one of the most bitter defeats in Cowboys playoff history.
