NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest

Forty years after one of the NFL’s most memorable games – the 1967 “Ice Bowl” NFL title game between these two teams on December 31 — the Cowboys and Packers meet in another 2007 “epic” game.
Two 10-1 or better teams have met only seven times before – the first in 1926 (12-1-1 Frankford vs. 11-0-2 Chicago Bears) and the last in 1990 (10-1 San Francisco vs. 10-1 New York Giants).
Thursday night is filled with scenarios: the NFL’s No. 2 offense (Cowboys) against the No. 3 offense (Packers)… Wisconsin-reared QB Tony Romo pitted for the first time against his boyhood idol, Packers QB Brett Favre (Romo was 12 when Favre made his first Green Bay start in 1992)…Cowboys WR Terrell Owens, with 30 catches for 537 yards and eight touchdowns in his last four games, against one of the top CB tandems in the league, Charles Woodson and Al Harris…and the sackers – the only teams with two players each in the top-10 in sacks in the league – Green Bay’s Aaron Kampman (11.0, tops in the NFL) and Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (9.5) against Dallas’ DeMarcus Ware (9.0) and Greg Ellis (8.5).
With a win and other scenarios, one of these teams will clinch its division.
