Dallas briefly threatened to rally, with quarterback Dak Prescott finding tight end Jake Ferguson for their first score with the final play before the interval, before then adding a Brandon Aubrey field goal on their opening possession of the second half to cut their deficit to 17.

Jordan Love went 16-of-21 passing on his playoff debut, racking up 272 passing yards and three TDs. Running back Aaron Jones too found the end zone on three occasions for the Packers as he had a 118-yard day on 21 carries.
