Packers, Cowboys NFC Wild Card game time revealed

The Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys will play Sunday at 4:30 p.m. ET, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The two teams are the No. 7 and 2 seeds in the NFC, respectively. A classic matchup that goes back quite a bit, will be the featured game on Sunday during the first round.

The Cowboys clinched the NFC East and a 12-5 record Sunday with a win and the Packers beat their rival, the Chicago Bears, to grab the final spot.

The Green Bay Packers got a spectacular performance from quarterback Jordan Love on Sunday afternoon and in the process, clinched a spot in the upcoming playoffs.

The Packers defeated the Chicago Bears 17-9, and with the win, officially clinched a wild card berth. Green Bay got some big-time performances from their young core of wide receivers (Dontayvion Wicks and Jayden Reed) and their quarterback.

Love had by far the best performance of his career thus far, completing 27 of 32 passes for 316 yards, while tossing in two touchdowns with no interceptions. The former UVA star Wicks hauled in six catches for 61 yards and two touchdowns. Reed hauled in four catches for 112 yards.

In his first season as the full-time starter, Jordan Love has been simply spectacular, throwing for 4,159 passing yards and 32 passing touchdowns. The only other quarterbacks in NFL history to exceed those totals in their first year as the full-time starter are Patrick Mahomes Kurt Warner.

On top of the win and the division title, the Cowboys also hit several other key milestones on Sunday. Despite a relatively underwhelming season for Tony Pollard, the starting running back reached 1,000 rushing yards for the second consecutive season. He joins just five other Cowboys running backs in hitting 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons: Calvin Hill, Tony Dorsett, Emmitt Smith, DeMarco Murray and Ezekiel Elliott.

With four touchdown passes on Sunday, including two to CeeDee Lamb and one to Brandin Cooks, Dak Prescott took the lead in the league for touchdowns this season with 36, plus two rushing touchdowns.

Prescott isn’t the only league leader on the team this season. Daron Bland secured his spot at the top of the list for interceptions with his ninth on Sunday against Sam Howell, though he already set the new league record for pick-sixes this season with five. Bland is now tied with Trevon Diggs with 14 interceptions through the first two seasons of their careers.
