In this episode of The Red Light Sports Ramble, presented by The Red Light Sports Network, Evan Witalison and Troy Otradovec will take you from beginning to end, of the NFC Divisional Round playoff game, between the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys.  The Packers defeated the Cowboys, 26-21, to advance to the NFC Championship game.  They will face the Seattle Seahawks, to see who will represent the NFC, in the Super Bowl.

Since the home opener, the Packers had never trailed, in a game.  That changed on Sunday; however, they were not trailing when it mattered most.  Behind the running of DeMarco Murray, and some pressure, on a limited Aaron Rodgers, the Cowboys led 21-20.  The running game, of the cowboys, allowed Tony Romo to use play action, and complete 15 of 19 passes, for 191 yards and two touchdowns.  The cowboys defense was holding up well against Rodgers, until the fourth quarter.  Rodgers moved up, in the pocket just enough to fire a bullet; to Richard Rodgers, for a 13 yard touchdown.  Tony Romo led the Cowboys down the field, but the Packers defense held tough when they reached the 40 yard line.  On a fourth down, Romo lofted a pass to Dez Bryant, that was ruled a catch on the field.  This catch would have given the Cowboys a first and goal, at the one yard line.  Mike McCarthy decided to challenge, the catch.  He had not one a challenge all year, but seemed confident, as he tossed the red flag.  As the referee trotted back, on the field, to make the call, fans waited in anticipation.  The catch was ruled an incomplete pass, because Bryant had not made a full football move, and maintained control of the ball, when going to the ground.  Lambeau field erupted, while the Cowboys sideline was stunned.  The Packers took over, and never gave the ball back, to the Cowboys.
