Cowboys in Playoffs Holdouts Doomed by Home Stretch Loss
Dallas clinched a record eighth straight playoffs with a 21 7 win over New Orleans but the Cowboys showed little celebration in the locker room. Tony Dorsett scored twice and rushed for 105 yards as Dallas stayed atop the NFC standings while George Rogers rushed for 166 yards for the Saints who dropped to 3 4 and saw Ken Stabler leave with an elbow bruise. Coach Tom Landry lamented a weak second half as New Orleans fought to stay in contention and Bum Phillips urged his team to finish strong for a possible postseason bid.
