Dallas 30 at St. Louis 25 (Wild Card Playoff Game)

The Cowboys can score points, that has never been a problem.  What they tend to struggle with is giving up too many points to the other team.  Well this time their defense did just enough, their offense scored on big plays, and they move on to the next round of the playoffs.  Four times they held the Cardinals to a field goal, something the Dallas defense does not do often.  That was the difference in this game that was in so many ways dominated by St. Louis.  The Cardinals one problem this season has been giving up big play scores.  They had the number 10 rated defense in the League in yards against, but were rated near the bottom in points against.
