'Boys rout Brady's Bucs to move on in NFL playoffs

Dak Prescott threw for four touchdowns and ran for another as the Dallas Cowboys routed Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-14 in the NFL's final wild card game.

Brady threw for 351 yards and two touchdowns but gave up a key interception in the end zone in one of the worst playoff games in his legendary career. The seven-time Super Bowl champion hasn't decided if this would be his final game in the NFL saying he'll take more time to make his decision this time. Brady retired after the 2020 season only to return 40 days later.

The Cowboys, meanwhile, defeated a team quarterbacked by Brady for the first time in their franchise history and won their first road playoff game since beating the San Francisco 49ers in the 1992 NFC Championship game at historic Candlestick Park. They will visit the Niners at Levi's Stadium in the NFC Divisional round next weekend while the New York Giants will face the top-seeded Philadelphia Eagles. Kansas City hosts Jacksonville and Buffalo welcomes Cincinnati in the AFC Divisional matchups.
