The Dallas Cowboys were far from perfect or overwhelming, but they got a crucial 27-17 win over the New Orleans Saints in a game that was ugly at times, but where Dallas found just enough to not have another embarrassing defeat at the hands of an undermanned team. This was a big game for both teams. The Cowboys were looking to end a two-game winning streak and make sure they kept some space between them and the rest of the NFC East. The Saints were mired in their even worse four-game slump, and needed to get a win to keep slim hopes of getting a wild card spot in the playoffs https://www.prodallasstore.com/Donovan_W...Jersey-103. Only one team could get what they needed, and fortunately, it would turn out to be Dallas. It was in many ways an unsatisfying performance for the Cowboys, especially on offense, but the defense found its takeaway magic and that would turn out to be the difference.Things got off to a slow start. The teams exchanged punts as neither offense could get much going, including a failed fourth-down conversion attempt by Dallas. Part of that was DeMarcus Lawrence raising havoc in his first game back from IR, particularly on the first series of the game. Then on the Cowboys third possession, the offense finally got going. It started with another returning player for Dallas, a 41-yard completion to Amari Cooper. A few plays later CeeDee Lamb added 33 yards on what was technically a running play after a backwards pass. That got the Cowboys to the New Orleans one-yard line, and Dak Prescott promptly found Michael Gallup for what has become something of a trademark play for him https://www.prodallasstore.com/Cowboys_Hoodies-3, the toe-tapper.Michael Gallup is that dude. Sheesh. They kept the drive alive on a fourth and eight conversion. But the turnover gods are fickle, and a tipped ball interception by Damontae Kazee snuffed that drive out, and time was beginning to grow short with 6:24 left in the game. Prescott flirted with another interception when he threw under heavy pressure. They wound once again go three and out, as the offense continued to sputter. Once again, New Orleans had the ball, now at their own 24, and Dallas had only used a bit over a minute of play clock. It was time for someone to make a play on the defense, and who better than Trevon Diggs, who nabbed his ninth pick of the season. Now the Cowboys had the ball on their own 41, and under five minutes left in the game. They just needed to burn clock without surrendering more than one score. And on a night when the offense was just not sustaining much, it was very appropriate that Carlos Watkins would jump up and grab a pick-six, the fourth interception of the game, to put it away. The 27-10 lead with only 2:52 was too much to overcome for New Orleans, although they certainly tried with a weaving 70-yard touchdown catch by Deonte Harris to pull them back within 10. It was a bad play by the defense after some real brilliance in the previous few series L.P. LaDouceur Jersey. Still, the Saints were out of time outs, and the ensuing onside kick attempt failed. With one decent run by Ezekiel Elliott, they were able to run out the clock and take home the win.It was a game where the Saints defense was very good against the run and at times brought fierce pressure on the quarterback. Dallas' offense was just not very good throughout, and it was the defense that may have made the difference, combined with a limited attack from their opponent. At times, Hill was all they really had. But we'll take any kind of win. Now the Washington Football team is up next, and if Dallas can pull off a win over them, they will be very close to locking up the division.
