The Super wildcard round of the NFL's postseason play-offs provided a media pundit's dream scenario.
It featured the utter collapse of two of the favourites to reach the Super Bowl -- the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles.
And a deluge of critical opining ensued.
First, the NFC East champions Dallas Cowboys, owners of a regular season record of 12-5, were shocked by the seventh and lowest seeded team in their conference, the Green Bay Packers.
The Pack had finished 9-8 and barely squeaked into the postseason on the final Sunday of the campaign.
Yet, led by Jordan Love, a first year starter at quarterback, the Pack demolished America's team 48-32 in a game that was not nearly as competitive as the score might indicate.
