Two seasons ago, the Dallas Cowboys rested several key players during week 17 with former quarterback Tony Romo throwing his final touchdown pass in the 27-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Journeyman Mark Sanchez finished the game at quarterback.
Two weeks later, the Green Bay Packers came to AT&T Stadium and left with an improbable 34-31 victory when quarterback Aaron Rodgers connected with tight end Jared Cook for a 35 yard pass on third down and 20 to go with three seconds left on the clock. On the next play, Mason Crosby kicked the winning 51 yard field goal.
