GREEN BAY, WI – Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers did just enough – and had a big decision go their way – as they defeated the Dallas Cowboys 26-21 on Sunday to advance to the NFC Championship Game.
Rodgers hit Richard Rodgers for a go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter, then watched from the sideline as Dallas appeared to convert a fourth-and-two into a first down inside the Green Bay one-yard line.
But Dez Bryant’s circus catch was overturned on review and Green Bay took over and picked up several first downs to salt away the last 4:06 of the game.
Kevin Harlan and Dan Fouts called the action on Westwood One.
