Cowboys seal NFL play-offs spot

Dallas beat Green Bay 37-27 to clinch an NFL play-off berth with their 11th win in 12games this season.

Tony Romo threw four touchdown passes as the Cowboys notched an 11-1 record for the first time in team history.

The Packers were rattled by quarterback Brett Favre having to leave the field with a second-quarter elbow injury.

"Our team is playing good football right now," said Romo, who now has 33 touchdown passes for the season - a franchise record.

A pre-game silent tribute was held for Washington safety Sean Taylor, who died on Tuesday after being shot during an apparent burglary at his Miami home.
