THE PACKERS-COWBOYS SERIES

• These clubs squared off in one of the most famous games in league history, the 1967 NFL Championship, dubbed the 'Ice Bowl.' Kickoff temperature was recorded as minus-13 with a minus-46 wind chill, the coldest game in league annals. Bart Starr's game-winning TD, a 1-yard dive with 13 seconds left, sealed Green Bay's third straight NFL championship en route to its second consecutive Super Bowl title.
• Green Bay won 10 of the first 15 in the series, in which Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi - former assistants on the same N.Y. Giants staff in the 1950s - turned it into one of the NFL's preeminent rivalries.
• The teams met in the 2014 and 2016 NFC Divisional playoffs, with Green Bay coming out on top both times. In last season's playoff matchup, on third-and-20 with 12 seconds remaining, Aaron Rodgers threw a 36-yard pass to a toe-dragging Jared Cook on the sideline to set up Mason Crosby's game-winning 51-yard field goal as time expired.
