The Green Bay Packers defense had a fairly good game against the Dallas Cowboys in their 48-32 victory on the road in the NFL wild card round.
While Dallas put up over 30 points, something they have done often at home this season, over half of them came in the fourth quarter after Green Bay had already built a commanding lead.
For a team that has struggled against the run this season, the Packers were able to keep the Cowboys’ running game in check. Of course, the fact that Dallas was playing from behind for the entire game helped that cause, but it cannot be ignored that the Packers’ run defense held Pro Bowl running back Tony Pollard to just 56 yards on 15 carries.
