I have wrote numerous times throughout the season, how teams have successfully used that Vic Fangio Blueprint to stop the Cowboy offense. In basic terms, they take away the middle of the field, dare QB's to throw into tight windows and run the football against the light box. They also did an excellent job of disguising their coverages post snap.
What the Packers successfully did:
-Ran the football extremely well.
-Attacked the edges with many sideline passes, where they it was less congested.
-Challenging their secondary personnel with deep shots.
When Love got in trouble, is was up the middle, which ultimately decided their fate.
You can see why Dak has struggled so much against this type of defense:
-Cannot run the football at all.
-Dak's big chunk plays are up the seams, is a poor thrower to the sidelines.
-Cowboys didn't connect on many deeps balls throughout the entire season.
