With their 44-6 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday evening at Lincoln Financial Field, the Eagles secured the sixth seed in the NFC playoffs.
They will visit the Minnesota Vikings in the first round of the playoffs this coming weekend.
In the 44-6 destruction of the Cowboys the Eagles offense put up 303 net yards of offense and was directly reponsible for 30 of the team’s 44 points.
The other 14 points were scored on defensive touchdowns from Chris Clemons and Joselio Hanson. Both players recovered fumbles and returned them for touchdowns.
Clemons’ return went 73 yards and Hanson went for 96 yards. Both fumble returns came on successive Cowboys drives.
The Birds sacked Tony Romo four times. The defense forced five fumbles, recovered all five, and picked off one of Romo’s passes.
The Eagles turned the ball over only once in the win.
