Cowboys, Prescott face acid test against Packers in NFL action

Los Angeles (AFP) - Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott face the sternest examination yet of their Super Bowl ambitions on Sunday when they host a red-hot Green Bay Packers side led by Aaron Rodgers.

The Cowboys -- the fabled "America's Team" -- emerged as the surprise package of the regular season after romping to a 13-3 record to clinch top seeding in the National Football Conference playoffs.

It marked a dazzling and largely unexpected turnaround following a dismal 2015 campaign, when they finished bottom of the NFC East with a record of 4-12.
