What happened: Green Bay posted its highest postseason total against Dallas, which also stands as the most points Dallas has allowed in the playoffs. It was Dallas's lone home loss that season and the only game in which the defense finished without a sack or takeaway.

Why it matters: The collapse continues to define Dallas's postseason drought and defensive identity. With Dallas sitting at 2-3 behind a league-worst EPA per drive, that performance remains the reference point for the current rebuild.

What to watch: Dallas added Mike Pettine as senior defensive assistant to support situational calls. The next home stand will show whether the defense can set a new standard.
