The Dallas Cowboys have made it to the NFL playoffs for the third consecutive year. Mike McCarthy's team finished the 2023 regular season by clinching the NFC East title. They will now gear up for the Wild Card round clash against the Green Bay Packers.

The Cowboys capitalized on the Philadelphia Eagles' poor run in recent weeks and overtook their rivals in the divisional standings.

Dak Prescott led the Cowboys to a 38-10 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 18. Dallas will now be aiming to make a deep run in the postseason.

The Cowboys grabbed the No. 2 seed in the NFC and will face the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the NFL playoffs.

The Packers finished second in the NFC North, behind the Detroit Lions. Green Bay recorded three straight wins in the past three weeks to move to 9-8 and book a ticket for the postseason. Matt LaFleur's team beat the Chicago Bears in Week 18 to confirm a spot in the playoffs and the Packers secured the No. 7 seed in the NFC.

For Green Bay, it will be a very tough challenge when they go up against the Cowboys' defense, which is one of the best in the NFL. The lack of playoff experience could be a major deciding factor for Jordan Love and the team. But it could also be the factor that propels them.

For Dallas, the focus will be to get the job done. The knock on Dak Prescott and the Cowboys has been that they cannot get it done on the biggest stage. And there is no bigger stage than the NFL playoff. The Cowboys have made the trip to the postseason for the past two seasons and have fallen short to the same opponent - the San Francisco 49ers.

The Cowboys will be hoping to overcome their kryptonite and break the 27-year-old Super Bowl drought.
