From Dennis Thurman to Blair Thomas, unlikely players have stepped up to help the Dallas Cowboys beat the Green Bay Packers in past playoffs. Brian Anderson Jersey .Dont be surprised if the star of Sundays divisional playoff game at Green Bay isnt Tony Romo or Aaron Rodgers, DeMarco Murray or Eddie Lacy, Dez Bryant or Jordy Nelson.Many lesser-known players have produced plenty of clutch post-season performances over the years. Thurman and Thomas are just two examples in this series alone.When Emmitt Smith went down with an injury against the Packers on Jan. 8, 1995, Thomas replaced him and ran for 70 yards and two touchdowns to lead Dallas to a 35-9 win. Thomas had just 137 yards rushing and two TDs the entire season split between New England and the Cowboys.A decade earlier, Thurman intercepted three of Lynn Dickeys passes to help Dallas beat Green Bay 37-26 in a playoff game on Jan. 16, 1983. He returned one of those picks 39 yards for a TD.Here are potential unsung heroes for each of the NFL teams playing this weekend:RAVENS: Joe Flacco may be the new Joe Cool in the playoffs, but safety Will Hill could be the key to victory for Baltimore. Hill is responsible for trying to stop Rob Gronkowski. If Hill keeps the All-Pro tight end in check, the Ravens have a better shot at the upset.PATRIOTS: Shane Vereens numbers have steadily declined this season, but the Patriots need one of their running backs to deliver against a run defence that allowed the fourth-fewest yards in the league. LeGarrette Blount and Jonas Gray are also part of New Englands committee backfield. Vereen has extra motivation Saturday night facing former college teammate Justin Forsett.PANTHERS: Luke Kuechly and Seattles Bobby Wagner are All-Pro linebackers so most of the focus is on them. But another linebacker, Thomas Davis, will play an integral role for Carolinas defence. Davis has to help slow down Marshawn Lynch and contain Russell Wilson. While Kuechly draws the attention, Davis performance can go a long way toward lifting the Panthers to a major upset.SEAHAWKS: Rookie wide receiver Paul Richardson had 10 receptions for 112 yards in Seattles last two games after catching 19 passes the first 14. Richardson has big-play talent. The Seahawks had only one player — Doug Baldwin — catch more than 40 passes this season, so Wilson spreads the ball around.COLTS: Tight end Coby Fleener had 291 yards on nine of his receptions and gained first downs on 40 of his 51 catches. Andrew Luck and the Colts have a deep threat in T.Y. Hilton and the dependable, veteran hands of Reggie Wayne. Fleener, Lucks teammate at Stanford, is a go-to type of guy who can make a difference in a shootout.BRONCOS: Rookie cornerback Bradley Roby knocked down Lucks fourth-down pass to Wayne to seal Denvers 31-24 win over Indianapolis in Week 1. Now Roby has a chance to be the star in his first playoff game. Luck will likely target Roby more than the formidable duo of Chris Harris Jr. and Aqib Talib.COWBOYS: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has turned into Jerry Jones good-luck charm. Christie governs a state filled with fans of the Giants and Eagles, but he grew up rooting for the Cowboys and sat with Jones in the owners suite last week. His awkward, celebratory hug of Jones when the Cowboys sealed a win against Detroit was the punch line for quite a few jokes this week.PACKERS: Fullback John Kuhn earned All-Pro honours for doing the dirty work to help Green Bays offence soar this season. Kuhn doesnt get the ball much — 24 carries, 4 catches — but hes vital to the Packers success because hes an excellent lead blocker and pass protector.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.organd AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP_RobMaaddi Curt Schilling Jersey . LOUIS -- Joe Thornton and the San Jose Sharks won the matchup of unbeaten teams. Byung-hyun Kim Jersey . Green-Ellis was Cincinnatis leading rusher each of the last two seasons. His role was reduced last year when Giovani Bernard was added to the backfield. Green-Ellis ran for 756 yards and a career-low 3. https://www.cheapdiamondbacksjerseys.us/218l-carson-kelly-jersey-diamondbacks.html . Indeed, must be among the greatest challenges in all of sports. The pressure he applies, from set to set, game to game, point to point, shot to shot.TORONTO -- Matt Bryant hit a 36-yard field goal 3 minutes into overtime to lift the Atlanta Falcons to a 34-31 win over the Bills in Buffalos annual "home" game in Toronto on Sunday. Falcons safety William Moore set up the decisive score in a back-and-fourth game by forcing a fumble on Buffalos second play from scrimmage. He punched the ball out of the arms of Bills tight end Scott Chandler. Cornerback Robert McClain alsso forced a fumble on the Bills final possession of regulation, when he knocked the ball out of the hands of receiver Stevie Johnson at the Falcons 30 with 20 seconds remaining. Jake Lamb Jersey. Steven Jackson scored twice, including the tying 1-yard plunge with 1:28 left for the Falcons (3-9), who snapped a five-game skid and won for the first time in six road games this season.
