6 winners (and 1 loser) for Packers after crushing Cowboys in NFC Wild Card Round
Winner: Aaron Jones
It's Aaron Jones against the Dallas Cowboys. What else was going to happen? Green Bay had to remain committed to the ground game to cool an outstanding Dallas pass rush, and Jones made it happen. He rushed 21 times for 118 yards and three touchdowns, his fourth consecutive 100-yard performance.
In only four career games against Dallas, Jones has 603 total yards and nine touchdowns, with the Packers winning every game. Unbelievable.
Winner: Matt LaFleur
Hopefully, Matt LaFleur will finally get the national credit he deserves after this game. He inherited a playoff-less Packers team in 2019 and put together three straight 13-win seasons, with Aaron Rodgers winning two NFL MVP awards.
He now takes the youngest team in the league into the divisional round, having completed a masterclass against the Cowboys. The Packers picked apart the Cowboys' defense. LaFleur called a great game. Receivers were running wide open, which is something we just haven't seen often against this Cowboys defense this season.
LaFleur has proven himself as an offensive mind and a leader this year. Not that he needed to. Winning with Rodgers is one thing. He's now doing it with Jordan Love and the most inexperienced receiving corps in the league.
