Kyle Shanahan assumed Packers' win over Cowboys hilariously early into the game

The Cowboys went 8-0 at home in the regular season but ran into a red-hot Green Bay team led by rising quarterback Jordan Love.

Packers running back Aaron Jones tallied the only touchdown of the first quarter on a three-yard rushing score, before adding his second one on a one-yard plunge early in the second frame. Love tossed his first touchdown pass late in the stanza and a missed extra point made it 20-0.

Defensive back Darnell Savage's 64-yard interception return coming out of the two-minute warning (plus a successful extra-point kick) put the Cowboys in a 27-0 hole they would never climb out of.

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott hooked up with tight end Jake Ferguson for one of their three touchdown connections at the end of the first half, and a Brandon Aubrey field goal with 9:23 left in the third made it 27-10. Jones' third and final rushing touchdown midway through the third quarter put the visitors backup by 24 points and essentially iced the game.

When Green Bay plays San Francisco on Saturday, Love will have a chance to do something his predecessor (New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers) never did across his 18 years with the team.

Rodgers went 0-4 in his playoff career against the 49ers, first losing to Colin Kaepernick and company in the divisional round in 2013 and then in a wild-card matchup in 2014.

The four-time MVP fell to San Francisco in the NFC Championship Game in 2020, as 49ers running back Raheem Mostert had a monster 220-yard, four-touchdown effort on the ground. Two years later, Rodgers' squad earned the No. 1 seed in the conference, but was shocked at home by No. 6 San Francisco, 13-10, as the future Hall of Famer finished with no touchdown passes in a playoff start for only the second time.
