Eagles, Packers Advance to Playoffs

The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Dallas Cowboys 24-22 to win the NFC East and advance to the NFL Playoffs. The Cowboys had the ball with a chance for a game-winning drive with 1:49 left, but backup quarterback Kyle Orton threw an interception to cornerback Brandon Boykin. For the third season in a row, Dallas finishes 8-8 and drops a deciding game 17 for the East crown. In another division battle, quarterback Aaron Rodgers returned from injury and led the Green Bay Packers to a 33-28 road win over the Chicago Bears to win the NFC North. Rodgers threw a 48-yard touchdown pass to Randall Cobb on fourth-and-long for the go-ahead score with 46 seconds left.
