Well, that's that - Redskins 27, Cowboys 6.

First off, congratulations to the Redskins. They’ve been through quite a lot this season, and for them to turn it around like they have and wind up in the playoffs is something to give them a great deal of credit and kudos for.

Secondly, while this game does not matter to the Cowboys, and it means everything to the Redskins, this isn’t exactly the performance that you’d like to see from your team heading into the playoffs, especially on offense, which hasn’t been as much of a strength lately as it was for the better part of the season.

But, every team is allowed their subpar performances, so it’s nothing to panic about, especially with so many guys sitting, some sloppy conditions, and the motivation level not as high as it should be in two weeks.

I will say this much - as much of a high as the Redskins are on right now, the Seahawks better come to play next weekend, because I think I’d much rather face Tampa Bay or New York than Washington in the first round.

Inspiration and heart can take you a long way, and that definitely won out today. So, congrats to the ‘Skins, see you (and hopefully beat you) in the playoffs.

Cowboys clinch home-field advantage in NFC.

With the Packers going down 35-7 at Chicago today, Dallas has clinched the valuable home-field advantage through the conference championship game. The Cowboys are 13-2 after their 20-13 win over Carolina last night, with the Packers' loss dropping them to 12-3, so even if Dallas loses at Washington next week, they'll have home field because of their 37-27 win over the Packers in Week 13.

So, if the two teams meet up in the NFC title game, Dallas won't have to make the trip to freezing (and possibly snowy/icy/rainy) Green Bay.
