Who will the Dallas Cowboys face in the playoff Wild Card round?

The Dallas Cowboys will host the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs next weekend. The game will be at 3:30 CST on Sunday.

It will be Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy’s second game against his old team. The first came at Lambeau Field last season when the Packers beat the Cowboys in overtime.

McCarthy spent 13 seasons coaching Green Bay, winning the Super Bowl in 2011 and finishing with a 125-77-2 record in that span. He just finished his fourth regular season with Dallas, and had his third straight 12-5 season for the franchise.

McCarthy is 1-2 in the postseason with the Cowboys, and 11-10 in his career.

McCarthy was 2-0 against Dallas with the Packers. Green Bay beat the Cowboys in the 2017 NFC Divisional round and the 2015 Divisional round.
