3. Dallas (12-5). DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer, my two all-pro outside linebacker picks, combined for three sacks, four quarterback pressures, a pass deflected and a forced fumble Saturday. On the rug Sunday at Minnesota, they're going to be tough to stop.
Defensive Player of the Week
Bradie James, LB, Dallas.
For filling almost every defensive category on the stat sheet: six tackles, one sack, one tackle-for-loss, two quarterback hits, one pass defensed, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery. And for making the play that I thought snuffed out the Eagles' last hope. One minute left in the half, Philly driving, down 24-7, ball at the Dallas 48 ... Donovan McNabb dumped a hot-route to fullback Leonard Weaver at the 43. James met Weaver squarely, jarred the ball loose and recovered it. Dallas went on to score a field goal before the half, and the Eagles weren't coming back from 27-7.

6. I think this is what I liked about wild-card weekend:
f. Kevin Ogletree. Every time the little receiver for Dallas plays he does something good.
