Packers-Cowboys free live stream (1/14): How to watch online, TV, time
Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys are riding a wave of momentum as they head in the postseason Sunday, Jan. 14, when they face the Green Bay Packers. The game will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial).
Their rise to the No. 2 seed in the NFC means they won’t have to leave home in the postseason unless they get where they’ve wanted to be for 28 years without making it — the conference championship game.
The possibility of at least two playoff games at AT&T Stadium comes with the Cowboys (12-5) riding a 16-game winning streak under their retractable roof.
All fine and good, Prescott says, but first things first.
The NFC East champs will see the playoff debut of Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love, future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers’ successor, when the Packers (9-8) visit in a wild-card game Sunday.
Dallas is in the playoffs for the third consecutive season, which the franchise hasn’t done since a run of six straight from 1991-96 that included three of its five Super Bowl titles.
The Cowboys were knocked out by San Francisco each of the past two postseasons, first in a wild-card game at home, then the divisional round on the road.
This time, Dallas wouldn’t see the top-seeded Niners until the NFC title game. The Cowboys chased defending division champion Philadelphia for two months before overtaking the Eagles in the final two weeks.
Instead of a postseason likely filled with road games like a year ago, when Dallas dominated Tampa Bay before the loss in the Bay Area, the Cowboys are in line for multiple home playoff games for the first time since they were the NFC’s top seed in Prescott’s rookie year in 2016.
When is Packers-Cowboys?
Dallas and Green Bay play at 3:30 p.m. (4:30 p.m. ET) on Sunday, Jan. 14.
