Packers take early lead on Cowboys

GREEN BAY, Wis. - Aaron Rodgers threw a 4 yard touchdown pass to Andrew Quarless as the Green Bay Packers take a 7-0 lead over the Dallas Cowboys in an NFC Divisional playoff game at Lambeau Field on Sunday.

The 3rd-and-Goal play found Rodgers attempt a rush through the middle before releasing to Quarless along the back of the end zone.

Rodgers found Jordy Nelson to start the drive for a quick first-down conversion and Eddie Lacy gashed over right end for a 19 yard gainer and then again into the red zone.

Lacy carried left for 8 yards to the Cowboys 8 and again for the 1st-and-Goal to the Dallas 4. He took a pitch that was stuffed at the line before Rodgers flung the scoring toss.

Dallas stumbled on their first possession, as quarterback Tony Romo was stripped of the football from behind by Julius Peppers on a 3rd-and-5 play. The Cowboys would recover and punt following a 5 yard drive.

Dallas is yet to lose on the road this season and Green Bay is undefeated at home as quarterback Aaron Rodgers has not thrown an interception at Lambeau Field for more than two calendar years.
