Cowboys Try For First Win Ever In Green Bay

Source: www.weau.com

The Dallas Cowboys get to play the Green Bay Packers Sunday. But, the game comes eight and a-half months later than they wanted to.

The Cowboys were knocked out of the playoffs by the Giants last January a week before they would have hosted the Packers in the NFC championship game.

The Cowboys travel to Lambeau Field where they meet a team that doesn't seem to have lost much with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback instead of Brett Favre.

Dallas is favored by three points, even after the Cowboys' sloppy 41-37 win over Philadelphia on Monday night.

The Cowboys have never won in Green Bay. And the most famous loss is the Ice Bowl, the 1967 NFC championship game won 21-17 by Vince Lombardi's Packers on Bart Starr's one-yard sneak.
