DALLAS – January 10, 2010 NBC Sports coverage of the Dallas Cowboys playoff 34-14 blowout victory over the Philadelphia Eagles earned NBC the best overnight rating for a primetime Wild Card Playoff game ever and the best Saturday Wild Card playoff game in a decade.

Just as the Philadelphia Eagles provided no real contest for the Dallas Cowboys, the Saturday broadcast fare on other networks was no competition for the NFL playoff game airing on NBC. Even though the game wound up pretty much a blowout, the broadcast nets didnt even have their Michael Vick moment (76 yard touchdown pass) where for a few seconds you could think, hey, maybe they can make a game out of this.

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.

Michael Vick threw a 76-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Maclin on his first snap, tying it at 7 early in the second quarter, but also messed up a handoff deep in his own territory, setting the Cowboys up for the touchdown that made it 24-7.

Dallas stretched the lead to 27-7 at halftime. A 73-yard touchdown run by Felix Jones made it 34-7 going into the fourth quarter.

They were better all the way around, Andy Reid said. When you get your tail kicked, its not a great feeling.

It was over when …

Brett Favre connected with Sidney Rice for their third touchdown of the game, this one a 45-yarder with 7:41 remaining in the fourth quarter. The score gave Minnesota a 27-3 lead and erased any Dallas hopes of a comeback.

Game ball

While Favre was magnificent, it was Vikings DE Ray Edwards who set the tone from the start. With the Cowboys driving into Vikings territory on their opening possession, Edwards threw Felix Jones for a 4-yard loss on second-and-10 and then sacked Tony Romo on third-and-14, forcing a fumble that teammate Kevin Williams recovered. Edwards kept up his strong play throughout the game, finishing with five tackles (all for loss), three sacks and a forced fumble.

Key Stat

Minnesota applied constant pressure on Romo, sacking him six times. The barrage of hits had an impact as Romo fumbled three times (losing two) and threw an interception — his most turnovers in a game since Week 2.
