    Green Bay are in a real nice place. There's a lot that hasn't broken Dallas' way so far.

    The Packers are coached well, they've been really good the last part of the year and they've come to play this evening.

    Note that down - CeeDee Lamb drops a pass over the middle that would've been a first down - so Dallas have to punt.

    To be fair it's a bit in front of him and he has to stretch but a receiver of his quality you'd expect him to get a hold of that.

    You've got to give Ceedee Lamb the ball. In the slot, out wide, it doesn't matter!

    Dak Prescott takes off with all his receivers covered, and spots a big gap in the Packers defence - we sometimes forget that Prescott is a handy runner and he motors for 18 yards and a first down.

    A great job up front. There's been nothing fancy on [that Packers] drive. Just running this ball through holes in the middle.

    The Packers came to play. Aaron Jones has just carried the ball seven times on the opening drive. It's his fifth career play-off touchdown as well.

    Penalties. There were two key penalties from the Cowboys. They jumped on the third down right at the end and then they score the next play.

    All the boxes got ticked for Green Bay. Scored, used a lot of time, and benefitted on Dallas' errors.

  7. Ideal start for Packerspublished at 21:54 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January

    Former NFL tight end Greg Olsen: "What do you do when you come to a team with Dallas' home record? You win the toss, take the ball and put down a really impressive drive. Now you’re the ones playing with the lead."

    Aaron Jones burrows his way over from three yards out to open the scoring and that's an impressive opening drive on the road in a play-off game.

    Green Bay won the toss, wanted the ball, then ran it right down Dallas' throat and went 75 yards in 12 plays to go in front. Statement made.

    Dallas are bringing the safety up. They've had trouble against the run and they're trying to bring an extra man into the box.

    Here comes Aaron Jones, who was stuffed in his first couple of runs, but some nice throws from Jordan Love has opened up the play-action and there are gaps appearing in the heart of that Dallas defence.

    Dak Prescott has a huge job as Dallas Cowboys quarterback, and a huge contract to go with it, but Jordan Love hasn't been too far behind this season - in his first year as a starter.

    They rank first and second in touchdown passes this season - and a shootout tonight would do very nicely thank you.

  12. Great play!published at 21:45 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January

    Green Bay Packers 0-0 Dallas Cowboys

    Huge conversion from Jordan Love to Romeo Doubs for 22 yards, with the second-year wideout leaping high and landing right on the famous Dallas star at midfield.

    Wonderful poise from Love who took a big shot as he let the ball fly.

  13. Pressure on Dallaspublished at 21:43 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January

    Huge pressure, we always talk about this team, what will they do in the play-offs?

    It's pressure, outrageous pressure. We always talk about Dak Prescott, is he the right guy? Should he be paid more?

    It's all answered in the post-season.

  14. Kick-offpublished at 21:42 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January

    We're off! Dallas kick us off so Jordan Love gets the ball first at a packed-out and pretty loud AT&T Stadium.

  15. It's personalpublished at 21:40 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January

    There's plenty of personal stuff going on later as Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff play against their former teams, but there's a big personal not in our first game.

    Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy won a Super Bowl with the Packers, in this very same AT&T Stadium - and now his old team stands in his way of trying to do the same with Dallas.

    As the leader of America's Team there's extra pressure and after the way they went out of the play-offs last season, this could well be his last chance.

  16. Packers big in Texaspublished at 21:34 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January

    Green Bay Packers @ Dallas Cowboys (21:30 GMT)

    We know all about Dallas' unbeaten home record this season, but the Green Bay Packers love playing at AT&T Stadium - as they've never lost in the building!

    The Packers are 5-0 in the Dallas stadium, including four wins against the Cowboys and their Super Bowl XLV success against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

    That remains the only ring for four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers - and if you notice in the pictures his head coach was none other than Mike McCarthy - the current Cowboys head coach!

    Dallas really, really wanted to win the NFC East and get home advantage for a couple of games - and here's why.

    Dallas are unbeaten at home this season but Detroit, who are playing later on tonight, thought they'd beaten them only for a refereeing controversy to help the Cowboys hang on.

    How do the Green Bay Packers do it? From Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers and now Jordan Love - he looks the real deal and seems to have again benefited from sitting behind a legend for a couple of years.

    "You want to play in the big-time games when the pressure is on and be able to go showcase what you're made of," said Love

    "Being on the bench those three years and being behind and just wanting to be out there so bad, now that I have my opportunity, just make the most of it."
