The bigger news happened after the score.
Brett Maher came on and kicked a PAT to make it 31-6.
That snapped a string of five straight misses — including a playoff record four in a row in the wild-card game.

His four TD passes tied Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman for the team record in a playoff game.
Dallas led 31-6 and was about to end a playoff road losing streak that started after a win on January 17, 1993, in San Francisco.
