00:03 The Dallas Cowboys continue to do what the Dallas Cowboys do in games that have

00:08 any level of significance.

00:10 Once the lights get bright in the postseason,

00:13 Dallas squanders opportunity after opportunity, including yesterday

00:19 as the two seed with a home field advantage in the NFC postseason

00:23 against the seven seeded Green Bay Packers,

00:26 the youngest team, Donnie, in NFL playoff history to appear in a postseason game

00:32 based on average age of Green Bay's roster.

00:36 The Packers playing with a mentality of, hey, let's just go out there and

00:40 give it a shot.

00:41 And that's exactly what Green Bay did yesterday on a Sunday at the Star.

00:45 48-32, the final score in Dallas that was only decided by 16 points,

00:52 and frankly, was not even that close.

00:55 The Packers went outright as a full touchdown underdog in Dallas,

01:00 and Jordan Love in his first playoff start earns his first postseason victory.

01:05 >> When they say like any given Sunday, Ben,

01:07 like I know it's the NFL, we play once a week, and there are always upsets.

01:10 If this game would have ended, let's just say 28-27 Green Bay,

01:14 hard fought game all the way through, wow, that was a really fun game to watch.

01:17 It was impressive that the Packers won.

01:19 But I was absolutely astonished.

01:20 I didn't know how to take it.

01:21 Down the stretch, the Packers were a pretty hot team.

01:23 Very good on offense, very good on defense.

01:25 I'm like, ooh, is that just the teams they're playing?

01:26 And is that secondary gonna hold up?

01:28 Because I know you can hold down the likes of the Carolina Panthers and/or

01:31 the Chicago Bears.

01:32 It's a different story when you take on the Dallas Cowboys,

01:34 who I believe coming into that game had won 16 straight home games.

01:37 So when the game starts out, it's like, hey, man, that is a great drive.

01:40 Green Bay took the football, goes right down the field and punches it in.

01:43 Let me see what Dallas does.

01:44 Dallas didn't do anything until they're down 27 to nothing,

01:47 which included a pick six by the Green Bay Packers.

01:50 And also for me, sitting on a touchdown prop for Jordan Love over one and a half,

01:54 hey, Donnie, how great is this?

01:55 They got four touchdowns in the first half and you say to yourself, well,

01:57 wait a second, the first three of those were on the ground and an intercept.

02:00 I mean, what the heck is actually going on at this point in the year?

02:03 Aaron Jones was tremendous.

02:04 But for me, I looked at it yesterday on the set.

02:07 I said, Donnie, what do you think happens in this game?

02:09 I don't know if I'm gonna lay the seven.

02:11 I think Green Bay's the side.

02:12 And we talked about it last week, Ben.

02:13 That seven and a half was huge, it was bet down to seven.

02:15 I was like, let me see if that comes into play.

02:17 But if you had the confidence meter, I said,

02:20 do I think the Packers can hang around this game?

02:22 Absolutely, I do.

02:23 But I would be shocked if the Dallas Cowboys lost and double shocked me, Ben.

02:27 Why?

02:27 Because they got blown out in this game.

02:30 I didn't see this coming, I really didn't.
