The Green Bay Packers earned a trip to the NFC Championship
Game with a hard fought 26-21 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at Lambeau
Field.  Aaron Rodger’s 13 yard TD pass to
Richard Rodgers with 9:10 left in the 4^th quarter provided the
winning points. The Packers got help from the video booth with 4:06 left in the
game when Tony Romo apparently completed a 31 yard pass to Dez Bryant inside
the 1 yard line on 4^th down that could have set up a go-ahead
touchdown.  The Packers challenged the
call and the call was reversed, giving the Packers the ball.  Aaron Rodger’s threw the dagger on 12 yard
pass on 3^rd down to Randall Cobb just after the 2-minute warning to
secure the win.  Rodgers finished with
316 yards and three touchdowns through the air. 
Rookie Devante Adams caught 7 passes for 117 yards and a TD.  Cobb caught 8 passes for 116 yards.  Eddie Lacy ran for 101 yards on 19
carries.  The win sends the Packers to Seattle next Sunday with
a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. 
The game will kickoff at 2pm central time and you’ll hear it on
News-Talk 1450 KFIZ.
