The Green Bay Packers showed the NFL world that they wouldn’t roll over after the massive Aaron Rodgers trade. Jordan Love and this young Packers offense proved they can score on any NFL defense when firing on all cylinders. Their late-season run into the playoffs proved a lot of doubters wrong.
As well as Love played, it would be impossible to ignore Aaron Jones’ impact on the Packers’ offense late in the season. He finished the season rushing for over 100 yards in five straight games. One of those games came against the Dallas Cowboys in the Super Wild Card round. Ahead of the Super Bowl, Jones released a statement about the Cowboys

In addition to stuffing Cowboys All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons several times at the line of scrimmage, Aaron Jones rushed for 118 yards and three touchdowns. Jordan Love was able to throw for 272 yards and three touchdowns with almost a perfect passer rating thanks to his protection. The Packers dominated offensively in that game, winning 48–32. In regards to his performance, Jones said:

Love told Parsons, “He’s looking for the nickel coming off the edge and if he’s not coming he’s supposed to get out in his route.” “His natural reaction would be to chip you and provide protection if he sensed that you were beating one of our o-linemen.” Parsons responded, calling it “unbelievable.”
With their victory in Super Bowl XLV during the 2010–11 season included, the Packers have a record of 5-0 at AT&T Stadium. Every game between the Cowboys and Packers is special, and this one was no exception.
