    This is the Cowboys everyone was expecting. Spread the ball around, get the run game going. It just seems to have taken them a half to get going.

    "Italy, Italy," roars Dak Prescott.

    Cowboys are in another tricky third down scenario. Prescott throws a little short but Ceedee Lamb gets to the low throw and makes just enough yards.

    A new set of downs for Dallas on the Green Bay 20.

    Big third and two on the halfway line but there's nobody open and Dak Prescott has to scramble...

    Oh dear, Dak can't find the edge and is blocked by two big defenders short of the line.

    But what's this? Personal foul on Kenny Clark and the Cowboys are gifted a first down.

    This Green Bay defence has been money in this game so far. Let’s see if they can continue

    Boom! We go again as Green Bay kick to Dallas and Kavontae Turpin is underneath it and gains some good yards for the Cowboys.

    Right then, what you got Dak Prescott? The Cowboys QB fires an arrow to CeeDee Lamb to get the drive moving.

    It must be great being a Green Bay Packers fan. Brett Favre goes, you bring in Aaron Rodgers.

    No more Rodgers? That's fine, we've got Jordan Love now.

    A franchise that just keeps producing golden quarterbacks.

  7. Can the Cowboys repeat Jags fightback?published at 23:15 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January

    How much did Dallas need that score right before the half?! Makes it an entirely different team talk for coach Mike McCarthy.

    The Cowboys now have a glimmer of hope. And McCarthy only has to point to that Jacksonville fightback exactly a year ago today, when the Jaguars also scored a touchdown seconds before half-time to cut the deficit to 27-7.

    Their first possession in the third quarter lasted for 14 plays and more than seven minutes, and went 89 yards into the end zone. Can the Cowboys repeat the feat?

    Jordan Love, he's no fear! He makes it look so pretty and easy. Jordan Love is the future and Green Bay are lucky to have him.

    The Cowboys are crumbling under pressure. Dak Prescott has one touchdown for 87 yards with two interceptions.

    Hardly MVP stuff.

  10. Half-time - Game on!published at 23:07 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January

    Green Bay Packers 27-7 Dallas Cowboys

    Well then, what a half that was! Green Bay absolutely all over Dallas, and had De-Vondre Campbell held on to that possible third Dak Prescott interception it could be all over.

    BUT, Dallas are on the board, they get the ball first in the second half and if they score early then we'll have a game on our hands.

    Of course, the Cowboys at some point will have to stop Jordan Love, but if they want any hope then they only have to look back to last year's wildcard round when the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Los Angeles Chargers after trailing 27-0...

    Boy how hard it looked getting all the way there and then how easy that touchdown was.

    Absolutely a blown coverage from the Packers there.

    Green Bay Packers 27-7 Dallas Cowboys

    Right at the end of the half Dallas finally get on the board with tight end Jake Ferguson taking the short pass in for a one-yard score.

    A penalty on Green Bay bailed Dallas out there, as it kept time on the lock for them to have a couple of goes at finding the end zone.

    Mike McCarthy had to go for it really with a field goal no real good at 27-0 down, and they dialled up just the right play with Dak Prescott rolling out right and just pitching a shot pass for Ferguson to stroll in.

    Yikes! Dak Prescott gets away with one there as he almost threw a pick to De'Vondre Campbell right on the goal line. He actually has basically thrown a pick, as the ball went right into Campbell's hands, but he just failed to hang on.

    Dak can breathe again.

    Dak Prescott runs it inside the 10-yard line and has 20 seconds left in the half to punch it in

    Cowboys owners Jerry Jones is not a happy man in the stands watching this.

    "I will do anything known to man to get into the Super Bowl - that’s a fact," Jones said in the build-up.

    That could include a change in head coach if Mike McCarthy can't turn this around - especially when there's a certain six-time Super Bowl winning head coach on the open market.

    And Jones has Bill Belichick's number.

    Belichick has just left the New England Patriots after 24 success-laden years and insists he wants to carry on coaching.

    Former NFL tight end Greg Olsen: "Darnell Savage just read the quarterback's eyes and saw it the whole way. Dallas now find themselves in about as worst case scenario. This drive is a must score."

    This place is stunned. Savage read Prescott's eyes for an EASY pick six.

    Incredible! Darnell Savage jumps the route and intercepts Dak Prescott, before returning it 64 yards for another Green Bay touchdown.

    Prescott is looking for CeeDee Lamb on the slant but Savage sees it all the way - and after just nine interceptions all season, Prescott has thrown two tonight. Both have led to Packers touchdowns.
