Coming off their shutout victory against Washington, the Cowboys stayed home for their regular season finale against the Philadelphia Eagles in a regular season-sealing claim for the NFC East crown. The Cowboys scored their first touchdown of the game when Tony Romo completed a 10-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jason Witten in the first quarter. In the second quarter, wide receiver Patrick Crayton completed a 14-yard touchdown pass from Tony Romo. Shaun Suisham also nailed a 44-yard field goal. The Cowboys scored their final touchdown of the game when running back Felix Jones ran a 49-yard touchdown. The Eagles could not score the entire game with quarterback Donovan McNabb getting sacked four times. With the victory, the Cowboys once again reclaimed first place in their division and improved to 11-5 to top off their regular season. This is the first time the Cowboys have swept the series since 2005, and also to snap Dallas's 9-regular season finale losing streak, as well as being the first time the Cowboys won a January game since 2000. The Cowboys would face off with the Eagles again in their first game of the playoffs the next week. This is also the first time Dallas posted back to back shutouts and Tony Romo broke his old team record for single season passing. They finished the regular season with an 11-5 record. Entering the playoffs as the NFC's No.&#160;3 seed, the Cowboys began their postseason run at home in "Round 3" against their rival, the No.&#160;6 Philadelphia Eagles, in a rematch of their week 17 victory. After a scoreless first quarter, Dallas delivered the opening shot in the second quarter with quarterback Tony Romo completing a 1-yard touchdown pass to tight end John Phillips. The Eagles responded with quarterback Michael Vick's 76-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jeremy Maclin when cornerback Mike Jenkins fell on the route.  Then the Cowboys exploded with points, starting with a 1-yard touchdown run from running back Tashard Choice, a 25-yard field goal from kicker Shaun Suisham, Romo's 6-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Miles Austin and Suisham's second field goal of the quarter, from 48 yards. Dallas went back to work in the third quarter with running back Felix Jones' 76-yard touchdown run.  Philadelphia tried to rally in the fourth quarter as quarterback Donovan McNabb completed a 4-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver DeSean Jackson, but the 'Boys would drain every last bit of hope needed for a comeback. The Cowboys and Eagles combined to set an NFL record for the most penalty yards in a playoff game, ever. The two teams were penalized 23 times for 228 yards. With the win, not only did the Cowboys improve to 12-5 and sweep three games from the Philadelphia Eagles, they finally won their first postseason game since 1996, and head coach Wade Phillips finally got his first postseason win. Coming off their three-game sweep over the Eagles, the Cowboys flew to the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome for the NFC Divisional Round against the No.&#160;2 Minnesota Vikings.  Dallas would trail in the first quarter as Vikings quarterback Brett Favre completed a 47-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Sidney Rice.  The Cowboys would respond in the second quarter with kicker Shaun Suisham making a 33-yard field goal, but Minnesota struck again as Favre found Rice again on a 16-yard touchdown pass, followed by kicker Ryan Longwell getting a 23-yard field goal.  After a scoreless third quarter, the Vikings pulled away in the fourth quarter with Longwell booting a 28-yard field goal, followed by Favre' 45-yard touchdown pass to Rice and an 11-yard touchdown pass to tight end Visanthe Shiancoe. With the loss, the Cowboys' season ended with an overall record of 12-6 and their first playoff win since 1996. After news reports about a 2007 shooting allegation surfaced, the Cowboys released talented but controversial cornerback Adam Jones on February 9, 2009.  Their next move was to release backup quarterback Brad Johnson on February 26, 2009 and not to re-sign QB Brooks Bollinger.  The Cowboys had been 1-3 when Johnson started in 2008.  Two days later, the Cowboys traded starting cornerback Anthony Henry, age 32, to the Detroit Lions in exchange for quarterback Jon Kitna to back up starting quarterback Tony Romo.  The same day the team signed five-time Pro Bowl, two-time second-team All-Pro linebacker Keith Brooking away from the Atlanta Falcons.  The 33-year-old Brooking had led the Falcons in tackles the previous eight seasons, and he signed a three-year deal worth $7.8&#160;million and includes $2.5&#160;million guaranteed. The team lost starting defensive end Chris Canty to the New York Giants on March 1, 2009.  To fill the need left by Canty's departure, the team signed former Chargers defensive end Igor Olshansky to a four-year, $18&#160;million contract, with $8&#160;million guaranteed on March 6, 2009.  Linebacker Matt Stewart, who played for Wade Phillips in Atlanta, and had 108 tackles in 2003, signed a one-year contract on March 3, 2009.  Stewart helped replace free-agent linebacker Kevin Burnett, who signed a two-year contract worth $5.5&#160;million with a $2&#160;million signing bonus to play for the San Diego Chargers. On March 4, 2009, the Cowboys cut Terrell Owens, a five-time All-Pro wide receiver who ranks second in NFL history in career touchdowns.  The next morning, the team also released five-time Pro Bowl strong safety Roy Williams.  Williams had struggled to excel in the 3-4 defense Phillips installed when he became head coach.  The Cowboys bolstered its secondary in the wake of Williams' departure by signing strong safety Gerald Sensabaugh, who started 13 games in 2008 for the Jacksonville Jaguars, to a one-year, $1.75&#160;million deal. In April, the Cowboys addressed their restricted free agents, whose signing period ran through April 17, 2009.  Offensive lineman Cory Procter signed a one-year tender offer on April 4, 2009.  Defensive end Stephen Bowen also signed a tender offer two days later.  Wide receiver Sam Hurd signed a one-year offer worth $1.545&#160;million on April 20, 2009.  The team signed their final restricted free agent, wide receiver Miles Austin, and both exclusive-rights free agents, running back Alonzo Coleman and tight end Rodney Hannah, to one-year contracts worth $1.54&#160;million, $385,000, and $310,000 respectively on April 23, 2009. The team released thirty-four-year-old, Pro-Bowl defensive end Greg Ellis on June 2, 2009.  The move saved the Cowboys $4.15&#160;million.
