The Green Bay Packers became the first seven-seed to win a playoff game, yet they look like anything but their ranking.
Green Bay, in Jordan Love's first full season as a starter, went to Dallas to face the Cowboys, who had won 16 consecutive games at AT&T Stadium.
And the game was over practically before it started.

The Packers led 27-0 at one point, and left the stadium with a 48-32 victory.
They face an even bigger challenge in the Bay Area on Saturday night when they face the San Francisco 49ers, the No. 1 seed in the NFC and the Super Bowl favorites.
San Francisco went 12-5 this season and are maybe the best oiled machine in the league with playmakers all over. But, as Howie Long said with the Cowboys, all it takes is one bad game at the wrong time.
"They’re playing with house money," Long said of the Packers in a recent interview with Fox News Digital, comparing them to the 2007 New York Giants. That team was a No. 5 seed who went on a magic carpet right and eventually upset the 18-0 Patriots in the Super Bowl.
