Five takeaways from Packers’ thrilling divisional round victory over Cowboys
Aaron Rodgers dominates despite rare pick
Aaron Rodgers threw an interception for the first time since November 13. Just his eighth on the season, it proved to be a rare lapse in an otherwise dominant display. Rodgers completed 28 of his 43 passes to the tune of 356 yards, two touchdowns and a pick.
Yet another masterclass from the two-time MVP powered the Pack to an eighth win on the bounce. Remember the pieces this offense has lost since opening weekend. Think back to what was expected of Jordy Nelson and Eddie Lacy in August. Neither suited up Sunday, and Lacy hasn’t been seen since the last time Green Bay met Dallas.
And just when you think there’s nothing more Rodgers can do to surprise you, Randall Cobb lets us in on a secret.
Cobb said the final play was not an actual playcall. Rodgers just told each receiver what to do, like a kid drawing in the dirt. Seriously.

Rodgers apparently doesn’t need a play to be called, he can just make magic happen on the spot. It’s moments like this that always tilts the field the Packers’ way.
