Ice Bowl II? Cowboys to visit Packers

ARLINGTON, Texas — Dallas defeated the Detroit Lions 24-20 at home Sunday, and now the Cowboys take their show on the road, where they were undefeated in 2014.

For the first time since the fabled Ice Bowl in 1967, the Cowboys make a postseason trip to Lambeau Field for Sunday’s divisional playoff game against the second-seeded Green Bay Packers, who had a bye during wild card weekend. The Cowboys were the NFL’s only team with a perfect 8-0 record on the road in the regular season.

The NFC’s No. 1 seed Seahawks host the Carolina Panthers, who are very familiar with the reigning NFL champions but have not played at Seattle under their current regime.

Carolina plays at Seattle on Saturday at 8:15 p.m. ET after losing three games in three seasons, including 13-9 earlier this season, in Charlotte. The Seahawks won 12-7 in 2013 and 16-12 in 2012.

The Seahawks (12-4) have won nine of their past 10 games and used home-field advantage in the postseason to advance to the Super Bowl last season.

The Ice Bowl was the 1967 NFL Championship Game, played Dec. 31, 1967. The Packers won the game 21-17 with coach Vince Lombardi beating Tom Landry’s Cowboys with a reported wind-chill factor of 48 degrees below zero.
