The Dallas Cowboys had two clear rooting interests heading into Wild Card Weekend: hope the Chicago Bears knock off the Green Bay Packers, and pray the San Francisco 49ers send the Philadelphia Eagles home early.
Well, if Saturday's introduction was any indicator, NFL fans might be treated to an epic playoffs. The Bears trailed by as much as 21-3 at halftime and by 21-6 early in the fourth quarter. They climbed all the way back to beat the Packers by a final score of 31-27. It was a choke job of historic proportions, and it leaves the Cowboys sitting on a lottery ticket in the 2026 NFL Draft.
