— Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott saw an opening up the middle, then three defenders between him and the first down. He found a way to get there, and to get his first playoff victory two years after his sensational rookie season ended in postseason disappointment. Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 137 yards and the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter, Prescott scored on a sneak after his dazzling head-over-heels run, and the Cowboys hung on for a 24-22 wild-card win over the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday night. The win was the first for Elliott and Prescott after losing a divisional game to Green Bay as rookie stars two years ago. Dallas will play either the New Orleans Saints or the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round next weekend.
