Outside of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have to go on the road to face the Buffalo Bills in a snowstorm at Highmark Stadium, the Green Bay Packers have one of the toughest matchups ahead of them on Wild Card Weekend, as they’ll have to take on the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.
Much like the Bills against the Steelers, the Cowboys are heavily favored to take down Jordan Love and company this weekend, as Green Bay barely got into the NFL playoffs, and Dallas has been one of the all-around teams all season long.
Along with having the tall task of beating the Cowboys on their home field in the playoffs, the Packers are pretty banged up at the moment, with a lot of players dealing with some injuries.
Even though running back AJ Dillon (thumb/neck) is dealing with some ailments, the team chose to make a move on Friday, parting ways with veteran running back Kenyan Drake.

At one point during his NFL career, Drake was one of the better running backs in the game and a valuable asset to the team that he was playing on in the league.
Unfortunately for Drake, times have changed, and he’s no longer the valued back that he once was and will be looking for a job in the NFL once again.
As for Dillon, the 25-year-old is currently listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys, which obviously hurts the team’s chances of pulling off the upset on the road in order to advance to the next round.
