IRVING, Texas, Dec. 21 (UPI) -- Willis McGahee had a 77-yard touchdown run and Le'Ron McClain ran 82 yards for a TD Saturday night when the Baltimore Ravens beat Dallas 33-24.

Both scores came in the final four minutes, sending the Cowboys to a loss in what was probably the final game at Texas Stadium -- and keeping the Ravens on track for a playoff berth.

McClain ran the ball 22 times for 139 yards and the score, and McGahee finished with 108 yards rushing.

Joe Flacco was 17-of-25 passing for 149 yards and a TD for the Ravens (10-5), who went up a half-game on the New York Jets, Miami and England in the AFC wild-card chase.

Derrick Mason, playing with an injured shoulder, caught six passes for 66 yards and scored a TD.

Tony Romo was 24-of-45 passing for 252 yards and two touchdowns, but he was also intercepted twice.

Dallas (9-6) needs to beat the Eagles in Philadelphia a week from Sunday to keep alive its slim chance for a post-season berth.
