PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 28 (UPI) -- Philadelphia's Donovan McNabb passed for two touchdowns and ran for a third Sunday and the Eagles made the playoffs by bombing the Dallas Cowboys 44-6.

The Eagles' win combined with losses by Tampa Bay and Chicago gave them a wild-card berth. They'll play NFC North champion Minnesota next weekend.

McNabb connected on 12-of-21 passes for 175 yards, leading the Eagles (9-6-1) to their fourth win in five games.

Dallas quarterback Tony Romo passed for 183 yards but fumbled twice and was picked off once in a loss that eliminated the Cowboys from playoff contention.

The Cowboys (9-7) failed to score an offensive touchdown for the first time this season.
