At last, it’s playoffs time for the Dallas Cowboys.

This fight against the Green Bay Packers is not going to be an easy one.

It’s a new season; it’s where the pretenders start thinking about next year, where the contenders start chopping off other contenders.

This is part of the season, if your team is fortunate to be part of, where records, numbers and statistics go out the window, I believe.

As football advocates, we discuss the technical aspects of plays and the physical capabilities players have, or don’t have.

One part of the game that I think gets amplified in a playoff contest is the mental fumes the players and coaches go through.

Sure, the Cowboys could dial-up the 2014 NFC Divisional Round  — also known as the “Dez Bryant catch” game — as motivation.

But the Packers and quarterback legend Aaron Rodgers have a sweet hot streak of their own to ride off of.

Should Dallas be worried? I think so.

Here are four ways the Packers can out muscle the Cowboys to punch their ticket to the NFC Championship game.
