“Their pressure was overwhelming in the first half,” Bootssaid. “I really appreciate that Coach Martin didn’t do that tous in the second half. It really would have been an embarrass-ing game for us.”

The second half started the same way.Pullen hit two quick 3s, Denis Clemente threw an over-the-

shoulder alley-oop to Sutton on the break and ... well, you getthe idea.

By the time they were done, the Wildcats had 29 offensiverebounds that led to 25 points, a school-record 40 points offturnovers and five players in double figures. Clemente finishedwith 14 points, eight assists and four steals, Samuels added 13points, and Kelly blocked six shots.

Now, the Wildcats get to see if they can keep it going in thebig, bad Big 12.

“It’s an opportunity and we’ve just got to be prepared forit,” Pullen said. “When preparation meets opportunity itequals success. Because we’ve prepared for it, hopefully whenthe door opens we can walk right through it.”

host the Packers next Sunday to conclude the wild-card round.Green Bay (11-5) beat them 33-7 Sunday. Arizona (10-6), theNFC’s third seed a year ago, will be No. 4 this time.

There also will be no cold-weather games in the secondround. Hosts Minnesota, New Orleans and Indianapolis playinside domes, and San Diego is the other site.

For the second straight year, the Eagles-Cowboys show-down was a rout. This time, Dallas did the damage.

Dallas swept Philadelphia this season to earn the divisioncrown, dropping the Eagles to the sixth seed, both at 11-5.

“They’re going to know us, we’re going to know them,” Romosaid. “After winning like we did today, we’re probably going tosee a completely different team next week because I don’t thinkthey liked what they saw today. That’s why I think we’re goingto see every blitz ever invented.”

A year ago, the Eagles kept the Cowboys out of the postsea-son with a 44-6 victory in the season finale. That gave Philly awild-card spot and the Eagles rode it to the NFC title game,where they led late before Arizona rallied to advance to theSuper Bowl.

“It’s kind of embarrassing,” tight end Brent Celek said of theloss. “I didn’t expect to come down here and play like this.We’re lucky we have another opportunity to play again. That’sall we can ask for.”

Like the Jets, Baltimore began the season 3-0.“We’ve had so many ups and downs, we’ve had so many

close games, and now we go forth 0-0,” said linebacker RayLewis, whose Ravens lost in the AFC title game to Pittsburghlast January. “That’s the type of message I was trying to tell myteammates before this game. In my 14 years, I’ve never had apretty road to the playoffs. It’s always been a grind, but there’sno better thing than having that grind and getting to advance.”

Minnesota’s 44-7 blitz of the New York Giants gave BrettFavre and the Vikings (12-4) a first-round bye. New Orleans (13-3) is the NFC’s No. 1 seed, but lost its final three games.

“I think it’s proof of what we’re capable of doing,” said Favre,who completed 25 of 31 passes for 316 yards and four touch-downs in less than three quarters without a turnover. “Where ittakes us from here, I have no idea. But it was definitely amomentum boost and confidence.”

Indianapolis, which dropped its last two games, is the AFC’stop seed at 14-2. San Diego (13-3) also has a bye and won itsfinal 11 games.
