00:05 The number two seed, the Dallas Cowboys, are hosting the number seven seed,
00:08 the Green Bay Packers, this upcoming Sunday in AT&T Stadium
00:11 for the first playoff game.
00:12 Dallas is undefeated at home this season at 8-0,
00:15 and they also have a 16 at home game win streak,
00:18 but also Green Bay's coming off a hot streak.
00:20 They've won three straight to get into the playoffs.
00:22 The story of this game is going to come down to quarterbacks.
00:25 Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott leads the NFL with 36 touchdown passes,
00:29 while Packers quarterback Jordan Love is coming in a hot second
00:32 with 32 touchdown passes.
00:34 Both have top tier weapons at wide receiver,
00:36 obviously Prescott having that dynamic duo within CD Blam
00:39 and Brandon Cooks love having Jaden Reed and D'Tavion Wicks.
00:45 Expect the DBs to be tested on both ends on Sunday,
00:48 the Cowboys secondary being more productive than Green Bay's,
00:50 led by Daron Bland, who leads the NFL with nine interceptions.
00:54 The Packers secondary is not great, so we could see Prescott capitalize
00:57 on that with Blam.
00:58 Another good matchup we're going to see on Sunday is the Packers O-line
01:01 against Dallas' Pass Rush.
01:03 Their O-line is ranked third in the NFL, only allowing 30 total sacks
01:07 this entire season.
01:08 They're going to go against Micah Parsons, who leads the team
01:10 with a career-high 14 sacks.
01:13 These two teams will go head-to-head on Sunday at 325 p.m.
01:16 for all things Dallas Cowboys.
