The Dallas Cowboys suffered another embarrassing postseason loss, but this one feels like the biggest stunner of them all. The Cowboys exited the playoffs at the hands of the Green Bay Packers, getting manhandled, 48-32, in the wild card round. The Cowboys have now lost their last two playoff games at AT&T Stadium, a mind-numbing stat for a team that had won it’s last 16 games played there.

This has become an annual ritual for Jerry Jones’ franchise; a great regular season only to get boat raced when the games mean the most. That makes 28 years and counting where the Cowboys won’t make it to the NFC championship game, a feat not even the pinnacle of the sport.

In defeat, the Cowboys now have the dubious honor of being the first No. 2 seed to lose to the seventh seed since the new playoff format was adopted. Another postseason, another embarrassing record to add to their embarrassing playoff ledger.  Here are the studs and duds for the Cowboys in their ugly wild card loss.
