NFL’s two premier franchises with nine Super Bowl Championships between them, the Cowboys and the Packers have met on eight occasions in the playoffs.
However, there is another reason behind this rivalry - the team’s ownership. Cowboys’ Jerry Jones is part-businessman and part-showman, which adds flare to this rivalry. The Packers, on the other hand, are owned by the people of Green Bay. It remains the only public owned franchise in the NFL. In short, the two teams couldn’t be any different.

Moments for the Football History Books
The Ice Bowl –It is hard to imagine how cold Lambeau Field was on December 31, 1967. This reference might help – the referees couldn’t even use their whistles because they would freeze to their lips. It was minus 48 degrees with wind chill during one of football’s most historic game. And the field’s heating system failed! But even that couldn’t stop Bart Starr, Packers QB, from scoring on a quarterback sneak, helping his team win 21-17 in the final minute.
When Emmitt Smith took over – On January 14, 1996, the two rivals played the NFC title game. The Cowboys were the favorites, but after three quarters, it seemed that they’d lose to Brett Favre and his Packers. The Packers entered the fourth quarter with a three-point lead, when Cowboys running back Emmitt Smith took charge. He rushed for two touchdowns, giving Cowboys an eleven point lead. The Cowboys won 38-27 and then defeated the Steelers for the Super Bowl Championship.
