Two of the NFL's marquee franchises square off on Wild Card weekend as the Dallas Cowboys host the Green Bay Packers.

Dallas locked up the 2-seed in the NFC with a dominant Week 18 win over the Washington Commanders. The Cowboys finished 12-5, tied with the Lions but ahead on the tiebreaker due to their controversial head-to-head win in Week 17. It's a sharp turn for the positive as Dallas entered Week 17 in line for the 5-seed. Thanks to that win over Detroit coupled with back-to-back losses by the Eagles, the Cowboys now have the opportunity to host games in both the Wild Card and Divisional rounds.

The path to the Divisional Playoffs won't be easy against a Packers team that has owned the Cowboys, winning nine of their 10 past meetings. Of course, Aaron Rodgers is no longer at the helm and Dak Prascott enters with an advantage over first-year starter Jordan Love.

Green Bay took care of business in Week 18 with a 17-9 win over the Bears. Love threw for 316 yards with two touchdowns while Aaron Jones added 111 yards on 20 carries. 

This is the 9th all-time meeting in the playoffs between the Cowboys and Packers. The Packers won the most recent meeting back in 2017, a three-point win in Dallas on the foot of a 51-yard field goal by Mason Crosby as time expired.

Will Prescott and the Cowboys get revenge? Or will Love pick up where Rodgers left off, with the Packers ending the Cowboys' season in their own back yard? Here is everything you need to know about how to watch the Cowboys-Packers wild card game.
