The Dallas Cowboys have pulled off their first playoff win in years. Tony Romo is now 1-2 in the playoffs, and Wade Phillips finally has won one himself. Phillips and Romo had been known as "choke artists" in the past years, Romo fumbling a kicker hold against the Seattle Seahawks and throwing an interception late against the New York Giants.
However, not only did they win, but they won in convincing fashion against the Philadelphia Eagles. Holding one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL to 14 points in two games, the defense is playing inspired football. With the front 7 applying pressure on the running game and the quarterback, the secondary locks down on big name receivers. Next week is a favorable match up against the Minnesota Vikings offensive line. They continue to allow Favre to be sacked, and Adrian Peterson is unable to have his explosive speed contribute when he can barely get to the line of scrimmage.
