Remember when Dez Bryant caught it, but didn't?
He will have a chance to redeem himself this upcoming weekend as the Dallas Cowboys take on the Green Bay Packers. This game will make it the first playoff game between the Cowboys and Packers since January 2015, when Green Bay beat the Cowboys 26-21.
Of course, "the catch" controversy involving Dez Bryant is the most memorable moment from that game and will probably be revisited a few times this week leading up to the big game.
On the other hand, in the other NFC game, the Seahawks and Falcons will match-up in Atlanta in a rematch following a controversial game as well in Week 5 where the Seahawks won it 26-24.
In that game, the Falcons left Seattle unhappy after a no-call on a possible pass interference against Julio Jones in the fourth quarter. The Seahawks-Falcons game is also a rematch of a wild playoff game from January 2013.
In that game, the Falcons blew a 27-7 lead in the fourth quarter, letting the Seahawks get a 28-27 lead with just 31 seconds left. However, Atlanta ended up winning 30-27 after Matt Ryan put them in field goal range for a game-winning 49-yard field goal.
In the AFC, we'll also be getting two rematches. The Steelers will be visiting Kansas City, where they hope things go a lot similar to how they did during the regular season.
Back in Week 4, the Steelers beat the Chiefs 43-14.
In the other AFC game, we'll be getting a rematch of a regular-season blowout. In Week 3, the Patriots beat the Texans 27-0 (without Tom Brady). With Brady now playing, the chances seem even greater to repeat history for the Patriots. Houston's a huge underdog coming into this game, to say the least.
Overall, all four games come with crazy history. I have a feeling this upcoming weekend will be no different.
