Cowboys lead Packers 14-10 at halftime

GREEN BAY, Wis. - Tony Romo threw two touchdowns and Mason Crosby kicked clean from 40 yards as time expired in the first half as the Dallas Cowboys lead the Green Bay Packers 14-10 in an NFC Divisional round playoff game at Lambeau Field on Sunday.

Randall Cobb caught for 12 yards and brought in a 31 yard reception along the near sideline to the Cowboys 27 with 9 seconds left in the second quarter to set up Crosby's boot.

Tony Romo is 9-of-12 for 114 yards. Jason Witten has 38 yards on 4 receptions and his 22nd third-down conversion, leading all tight ends this season. His 4th-and-6 catch that went for 21 yards came on the Cowboys' game-winning drive last Sunday in their Wild Card meeting with Detroit.

Romo flung a 38 yard touchdown to Terrance Williams after Aaron Rodgers lost a fumble to take the seven-point lead in the second quarter, handing the Packers their first trailing scoreline at Lambeau since their season opener.

Jason Witten took a late 2nd-and-5 play to the Packers 36 and Murray powered through a would-be tackle from Clay Matthews. Romo's 3rd-and-5 pass was botched by a high snap and near fumble and Dan Bailey would miss a penalty-influenced 50 yard field goal try with 29 seconds left in the opening half.

Aaron Rodgers drove the Packers over 60 yards in 10 plays on their first possession, capped off by his 4 yard touchdown to Andrew Quarless. He was sacked and stripped of the football by Jeremy Mincey when Packers center Corey Linsley surprised his quarterback with an early snap near midfield.

Rodgers is 9-of-15 for 90 yards and a score. Randall Cobb leads the Packers with 58 yards on 4 catches.
