Green Bay refuse to die as play-offs loom

The Green Bay Packers needed their biggest comeback in history on Sunday to somehow keep their play-off hopes alive ahead of the long-awaited return of Aaron Rodgers from injury.

Replacement quarterback Matt Flynn threw four second half touchdowns before running back Eddie Lacy ran in from the one-yard line with under two minutes left to round off a thrilling 37-36 win at the Dallas Cowboys.

Dallas squandered a huge lead at home as quarterback Tony Romo threw two interceptions in the dying minutes, leaving their own post-season hopes in the balance.
