The Green Bay Packers pulled off an unlikely upset, beating the Dallas Cowboys 48-32 in Sunday's NFC wild-card round.

In his playoff debut, Jordan Love looked like a veteran throwing for 272 and three touchdowns, propelling Green Bay to a 27-7 lead at halftime. Running back Aaron Jones had the Cowboys' number, rushing for 118 yards and three touchdowns.

Dallas came into the game riding a 16-game home winning streak but once again couldn't get the job done in the playoffs. The Cowboys have not reached a conference championship game since last winning Super Bowl XXX in 1995 and have gone one-and-done seven times since.

More to come.
