While four teams punched their tickets to the championship round this weekend, reality set in on just how short the Dallas Cowboys fell of their goals this season. The Green Bay Packers, responsible for sending Dallas home in the Wild Card round by becoming the first to win at AT&T Stadium in 16 tries, gave the top-seeded 49ers all they could handle in a close 24-21 win for San Francisco at home. The 49ers are now in their third straight NFC Championship game under Kyle Shanahan. Many Cowboys fans were hoping/expecting their team to be lining up against Shanahan’s this weekend for a trip to Las Vegas, but they’re left with just the 42-10 regular season loss to the 49ers, as well as two previous playoff exits under Mike McCarthy to San Francisco.
