For the first time since 1996, the Dallas Cowboys have advanced in the NFL playoffs. Next stop: Minnesota.
The Cowboys’ 34-14 rout of Philadelphia on Saturday night, giving them a three-game sweep of their NFC East rival, sends them to the Metrodome for a meeting with Brett Favre and the Vikings (12-4) next Sunday.
That means the winner of the other NFC wild-card matchup between Green Bay (11-5) and Arizona (10-6) will visit top-seeded New Orleans (13-3) in six days.
In the AFC, the fifth-seeded New York Jets played error-free ball in frigid Cincinnati to beat the AFC North champion Bengals 24-14 Saturday afternoon. Cincinnati (10-7) has not won a playoff game since 1990.
