Pregame coverage

Pregame story

We've been here before: The Green Bay Packers are playing what has essentially been their 8th straight win-or-die game of the 2016 NFL season. Now, it means more - the NFC Divisional Playoff against the Dallas Cowboys.

We've been here before: This is the 8th time the Packers and Cowboys have played in the NFL playoffs. In four of the previous seven meetings, the winner won the Super Bowl.

We've been here before: This is the fourth time the Packers have played a game in the state of Texas this decade. In each of the previous three contests (two in North Texas, one in Houston), the Packers have won. Oh yeah, the Super Bowl is in Houston this year.

We've been here before: The Packers enter this contest with the hottest offense in pro football - five straight offensive tallies of at least 30 points. They also enter with a long, long injury list - particularly in the secondary, with LaDarius Gunter and Damarious Randall pairing up to guard receivers like Dez Bryant and Cole Beasley.

We've been here before: The Cowboys will bring rookies Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott for the Packers defense to have to figure out. They demolished the Packers in a 30-16 rout that wasn't even that close.

We've been here before: Six times in the past seven years, the Packers have reached the NFC Divisional Playoffs. Only twice have they won. Four times, they lost - the last two in the most painful method possible, a score by the opponent on the final play.

We've been here before. These are the two most successful franchises in the last six decades of football - 12 championships between them in that span.

This will be on-the-edge-of-your-seat fun, perhaps a shootout worthy of the greatest of Texas tales.

Stay tuned.
