The Lions scored two first-quarter touchdowns against the Rams in the NFC wild-card matchup.
As the Dallas Cowboys quickly fell behind the Green Bay Packers in their wild-card playoff matchup, fans and media immediately wanted to see the reaction of team owner Jerry Jones.
Jones didn’t disappoint as TV cameras caught him looking stunned in his owner’s suite. And it only got worse from there, with the Packers building an insurmountable lead on a Cowboys team that finished 12–5, earned the No. 2 seed in the NFC, and looked like a Super Bowl contender.
Another year, another early exit for the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL playoffs.
On Sunday the Cowboys got run out of their own stadium against the Green Bay Packers, falling 48–32 in a game that was even more of a blowout than its final score indicates.
It was a disastrous day from start to finish for the Cowboys, who went down 27–0 in the first half and would not come within two scores of the Packers until there were just three minutes left to play. As Green Bay ran away with the playoff victory, team owner Jerry Jones was seen in his box, reacting with disgust.
Moments after a 48–32 playoff loss to the No. 7 seed may not be the best time to bring it up, but I’ve developed quite a bit of sympathy over the years for Mike McCarthy—or, really, anyone who holds the job title of Dallas Cowboys head coach.
Look closely and you’ll realize it is not just the pressures of the market and the job, but it is the nebulous atmosphere created by owner Jerry Jones that makes performing well next to impossible. Jones has, to his credit, been patient with coaches.
After eviscerating the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, Green Bay Packers star Aaron Jones capped his big afternoon with a celebration sure to ring through the AT&T Stadium walls for years to come.
The Packers stunned the No. 2-seed Cowboys with a huge ,48–32, road win spurred, in part, by Jones’s best-ever playoff game. The lead back tallied 21 carries for a game-high 118 rushing yards and three touchdowns, as well as one reception for 13 yards to help Green Bay become the first No. 7 seed to win a postseason game.
One and done for the Cowboys has many wondering whether McCarthy is done, too.

Has Jerry Jones seen enough to fire Mike McCarthy?
Mike McCarthy has always been on the hot seat.
It’s just the way it has been for him during much of his four-season tenure under Jerry Jones as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Jones, of course, has done little to quell any speculation about McCarthy’s future over the years. He often brought it up himself and did so again recently said McCarthy will be examined after each playoff game.

Only one quarterback was revered at Ford Field on Sunday night, and his name is Jared Goff.
Ahead of the Detroit Lions’ wild-card round game against the Los Angeles Rams, the Lions home crowd went crazy for Goff—and went straight at Matthew Stafford.
When Stafford ran onto the field for the Rams’ pregame warm-ups, he entered his former home stadium packed with thousands of Lions fans who weren’t shy about vocalizing their wrath and hostility. The boos immediately rained down on Stafford and pretty soon turned into deafening “Jared Goff” chants.
