From Packers.com:
The Packers couldn't overcome a 28-9 halftime deficit, and despite 327 yards of total offense fell to Dallas' arsenal of offensive superstars in the NFC semifinals.

Trailing only 7-3 in the first quarter, the Packers pinned Dallas deep in its own territory. But Troy Aikman then connected with Alvin Harper on an NFL playoff-record 94-yard touchdown pass. Aikman threw for 337 yards, and three Dallas receivers -- Michael Irvin (111), Harper (108) and Jay Novacek (104) -- had 100-yard days. Dallas backup Blair Thomas rushed for 70 yards and two scores after replacing Emmitt Smith, who left in the first quarter after aggravating a hamstring injury.
