Eagles run over Cowboys to clinch playoff berth

Football Betting Lines

12/26/2006 - Irving, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jeff Garcia completed 15-of-23 passes for 238 yards and Brian Westbrook led a clock-controlling ground game with 122 rushing yards, as the Philadelphia Eagles clinched a playoff berth and gained the NFC East lead with a 23-7 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in a Christmas Day battle at Texas Stadium.

Correll Buckhalter gained 38 yards on the ground with a touchdown for the Eagles (9-6), who can capture the division title with a win over Atlanta on Sunday in Philadelphia or a Dallas (9-6) loss at home against Detroit in Week 17. Although both the Eagles and Cowboys have identical records, the Eagles would win the crown due to a season sweep of Dallas. Lito Sheppard's 102-yard interception return for a touchdown capped a dramatic 38-24 Eagles win over Dallas in Week 5.

Dallas, which has now dropped two of its last three on the heels of a four- game win streak, clinched a playoff berth last Sunday. The Cowboys were dominated at nearly every facet and were outgained, 426-201, losing to the Eagles for the 11th time in the last 14 meetings.

Garcia has re-energized a Philadelphia offense that was left for dead when star quarterback Donovan McNabb suffered a season-ending knee injury on November 19. Garcia's first start was a 45-21 loss to Indianapolis, but he has rebounded and guided the Eagles to four straight wins, including three consecutive divisional road games.

Pro Bowl quarterback Tony Romo finished 14-of-29 passing for 142 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions for the Cowboys. Julius Jones and Marion Barber combined for just 80 rushing yards against the 28th-ranked rushing defense entering the game. Former Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens caught two passes for 23 yards and the lone Dallas touchdown in the loss.

Due to Philadelphia's win, the New Orleans Saints clinched a first-round bye in the playoffs.
