I did.



I still like to drive my point home, though.

The Bears are about to use this exact blueprint against the Rams. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a similar one score game that fails to get out of the teens.

Any time the Rams, Chiefs, or Saints don't get out of the teens you should always be surprised.

Without looking, probably a safe guess that last night was the only time any of those 3 didn't hit 20.

Cowboys beat Saints 1/10 times...this just happened to be that time. (3rd game in 12 days) (back to back road games). Its like trying to win a road back to back in the NBA.

Weren't the Cowboys on the same schedule though?

One of the hardest things to do in the NFL is to win on the road. Winning on the road on Thursday night is even more difficult.

The Saints played the Falcons at home so not sure where the back to back is coming from.

NFL players are creatures of habit and to all of sudden play on back to back Thursdays is a tricky spot. They'll get right and finish off the season strong.

The season is broken up into quadrants and through 3/4 you are:

3-1
4-0
3-1

What the cowboys did very well.

1. Stop the running game - which caused peyton to abandon it early when he just should have ran right at gregory.

2. take away the short pass - Saints usually chew teams up in the flats, But the Cowboys have great LBs than run and shut that down for them.

3. Force NO to throw deep and play zone all eyes on Brees, usually brees thrives when the defenders back is turned. But Brees didnt push many balls down field.


It didnt help that the Saints WRs were dropping those passes. Every freaking pass was constested and the Cowboys DBs won most of those battles.
