Packers legend LeRoy Butler believes underdog narrative won't impact young roster in playoff game vs Cowboys

Hall of Fame safety and Green Bay Packers legend LeRoy Butler spoke to Fox News Digital about a potential landing spot for Bill Belichick.

The underdog narrative isn’t always a bad thing. 

The Baltimore Ravens proved that when they used it to fuel their Week 16 win over the San Francisco 49ers and went on to earn themselves the No. 1 seed in the AFC. 

This weekend, the Green Bay Packers find themselves in a similar position as they travel to Dallas to play the Cowboys in a wild-card game on Sunday afternoon. Vegas has the Cowboys, undefeated at AT&T Stadium this season, as the favorites by at least a score.

But Packers legend and Pro Football Hall of Fame safety LeRoy Butler believes that the young roster making up this year’s team has a particular advantage over the Cowboys, who have long chased a Super Bowl title since last winning it at the end of the 1995 season. 

"This team is the youngest team in the league. And if you think about it, they're probably even younger because most veterans are hurt," Butler told Fox News Digital in an interview this week. 

"They don't know what they don't know. These guys were at bowl games… They just want an opportunity. So, they can't get intimidated. You can't get scared of something that you don't know what it is. So the anticipation of the coaches to put their blinders on is the reason why they're in the playoffs."
