The Dallas Cowboys shut everyone up in the simplest of ways: by winning.

It's really our fault. We all look at "trends'' and say "the Cowboys can't win in December.'' Then when they start December with two straight losses, we say "I told you so.''

Except they then ended New Orleans' unbeaten run and followed that up by smothering Washington and, all of a sudden, they're in the playoffs and going for the NFC East championship head-to-head at home against Philadelphia. And now they can win in December and may on into January. And February?

It's the Dallas defense that's doing it -- holding the Saints to 17 and shutting out the Redskins. They're favored by three against the Eagles (home-field) who can score points but also allow them.

Incentive? Philadelphia gets a first-round bye with a win.
