The Dallas Cowboys confirmed their reservation for the NFL postseason, and they'll be taking on the Green Bay Packers this weekend at AT&T Stadium for the chance to advance in hopes of taking a step closer to bringing the elusive Super Bowl back to Dallas for the first time since the mid-1990s. 

For head coach Mike McCarthy, it will be an interesting turn of events, considering that he coached the Packers for many years. 

"The drama of it, I'm sure you guys will love, but I will not participate in it this year," he said after defeating the Commanders to clinch the NFC East title and No. 2 seed. "It's playoff time. It doesn't matter who we play, to be honest with you. … We need to play our best football. 

"It doesn't matter who we play or where we play them. That has to be our mindset."

The last time that Green Bay battled Dallas, they were able to rebound from a poor start and seize victory in overtime. And according to McCarthy, he'll be doing this differently this time around.

"Last year, I thought it was important for me to talk about Green Bay at the beginning of the week with the team. I regretted it," McCarthy admitted on Monday. "That doesn't even need to come into our energy base, but you live and learn. This game is about our commitment. It doesn't matter who we're playing. 

"… That's where I am. There's just no time for that. … It will not help us win. And if it will not help us win the game, I'm not interested."

Next week's game will take place at AT&T Stadium on Sunday beginning at 4:30 PM EST.
