FRISCO, Texas -- As the Dallas Cowboys prepared to enjoy their first-round bye, they had no preference in opponents, be it either the New York Giants, who beat them twice, or the Green Bay Packers, who closed the regular season with a six-game winning streak.
“We really don’t care who we see,” running back Ezekiel Elliott said last week. “There’s not a certain team we want to play. We don’t really worry about things we can’t control.”
Now the Cowboys know they will face Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, who dismissed the Giants in scary fashion Sunday.
