Saints: 13-1

Ok, you knew it, didn’t you? The Cowboys played a great first half and lead 17-3 at the break. Then in the third, they pushed the lead to 24-3….

Then the Saints came back; two drives and now it is 24-17.

But the Cowboys drive, convert a key 3′rd and 7 and get it deep into New Orleans territory. So no time outs left, 2:20 left in the game and the Cowboys try a short field goal which will ice the game; they miss the 24 yard field goal.

Sound familiar? That’s right, the Redskins were in a very similar position and…yes…missed a 23 yard field goal.

So the Saints had life. But this time the Cowboy defense held and eventually sacked Brees and made him fumble.

The defense came up with the big stop at the end.

So the Saints are 13-1 and the Cowboys move to 9-5 and lead the wild card teams. But if they win next week at Washington (a huge IF) then they’ll play Philadelphia for the division title.
