A good number of Dallas Cowboys fans headed for the exits early during their team’s Super Wild Card Weekend matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
The Packers scored the first 27 points of the contest and led 27-7 by halftime at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The lopsided score even led the FOX broadcast to highlight potential beef between Cowboys stars Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb.
The lead continued to balloon in the third quarter, which prompted a slew of fans to prioritize the parking situation over hopes for a miraculous comeback.

The Packers scored seven touchdowns across their first seven drives. While the visitors did end up punting on their second offensive possession, Green Bay made up for it courtesy of Darnell Savage’s pick-six on Prescott late in the second quarter.
There may have been an uncalled hold on a Packers player on Savage’s TD but the points still counted all the same.
DARNELL SAVAGE PICK-6. WOW.

The Cowboys were a perfect 8-0 at home during the regular season and entered Sunday as heavy favorites against the NFL’s youngest team. The inexperience didn’t stop the Packers from demolishing Dallas 48-32 on their own home field.
