Any playoff rematch is interesting, but there will be some extra spice to this one. Dallas Cowboys fans will have the Dez Bryant catch that never was still fresh in their minds, and they will return to Lambeau looking for revenge.

The Packers have won the last four meetings with the Cowboys, including the famous Flynn-led comeback on the road in 2013. The Cowboys held a 26-3 lead at the half, but Flynn was able to lead the team to a shocking 37-36 victory that kept the Packers playoff hopes alive.

Hopefully, Aaron Rodgers will remain healthy and lead the Packers into battle this time around.

He, of course, missed the 2013 clash, and limped the team to victory while essentially playing on one leg.

The Cowboys have lost DeMarco Murray, but they will still be a strong team.

Led by quarterback Tony Romo, the Cowboys boast one of the league’s best receivers in Dez Bryant and arguably the best offensive line, too. With an improving defense, the Cowboys will provide a tough test for the Packers at Lambeau Field.

The Packers and Cowboys rivalry is rich in history, and includes the famous Ice Bowl.

The hype leading up to this game will surround the Bryant non-catch, but this historic contest will be anticipated for a number of other reasons, too.
