Before Sunday, no number 7 seed had won a playoff game since the NFL expanded its postseason field. In fact, those teams had been outscored by an average of more than 20 points in the six such games that they had played in the past three years. At AT&T Stadium this afternoon, the Green Bay Packers did not just deliver the first such win in league history; they did so with a completely dominant performance against the 2nd-seeded Dallas Cowboys.
En route to that dominant victory, the Packers got a nearly-perfect passer rating from quarterback Jordan Love in his postseason debut, a mark spoiled by one late incomplete pass.
