Cowboys erase recent playoff futility with rout of Eagles

And Tony Romo waxed poetic about the process, about getting better every game and hoping for a reward at the end.

»  Blog Blitz: Eagles | Cowboys
In a way, each of their reactions was pretty appropriate considering all the ramifications of the Dallas Cowboys' 34-14 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday night.
The Cowboys won their first playoff game since Dec. 28, 1996, easily the longest in the club's proud history. The skid included six losses; a seventh would've set an NFL record.
Phillips was 0-4 in the playoffs as a head coach, covering stints with Denver and Buffalo, too. Romo was 0-2, with bizarre circumstances surrounding each. Fittingly enough, Phillips' defense was a huge reason for this victory, and Romo broke the game open with five straight scoring drives in the second quarter.
"It's just ... rewarding," Romo said. "It makes me proud of the guys in there -- fighting, grinding, staying committed to the approach. I'm happy for the guys, happy for Wade, happy for Jerry."

The Baltimore Ravens were undaunted by the New England Patriots perfect home record as they went into Foxboro Stadium and emerged with a dominating 33-14 victory in the AFC Wild Card playoffs.

Baltimore set the tone on the first play from scrimmage when Ray Rice took a handoff and bounced outside down the Raven sideline for an 83-yard touchdown run.

It was the longest run of the former Rutgers running back's career and second longest postseason run in NFL history.

The Ravens frustrated Tom Brady and the Patriots into four turnovers and built a 24-0 lead in the first quarter.

The win advances Baltimore to an AFC Divisional contest in Indianapolis on Saturday night and shifts the New York Jets out to San Diego for a Sunday afternoon game against the Chargers.

The Broncos today placed rookie safety Darcel McBath, one of their three second-round picks, on the injured reserve list with a broken forearm.

McBath injured the arm in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss at Indianapolis. He was playing defense in relief of starter Renaldo Hill, who already had left the game with a sprained ankle.

To replace McBath, the Broncos signed veteran Vernon Fox. Fox spent the second half of last season in Denver and was with the team all through the preseason. He was among the players cut after the last preseason game and did not sign with another team.
