GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay rallied from an 8-point deficit as Aaron Rodgers threw for two fourth-quarter touchdowns to beat Dallas, 26-21, on Sunday in an NFC divisional-round playoff.
The Packers (13-4), helped immensely by a video reversal with 4:06 remaining, went undefeated at Lambeau Field this season. They head to Seattle for the NFC title game. The Seahawks (13-4) beat Green Bay in the season opener, 36-16.
Dez Bryant’s leaping catch at the Packers’ 1-yard line on fourth-and-2 was reversed by referee Gene Steratore after Green Bay challenged.
Instead of first-and-goal for Dallas (13-5), the ball went to the Packers.
The Cowboys’ first postseason trip to Green Bay since the 1967 Ice Bowl for the NFL championship was their first road defeat of the season after eight victories.
Rodgers, bothered by a left calf injury, hit Davante Adams for a 41-yard score to make it 21-20, and threw a 13-yard bullet to backup tight end Richard Rodgers for the lead.
