Last week, according to nfl news, thanks to a pair of really good defensive plays by Jonathan Vilma ,the Saints were able to hold off the Falcons to preserve a 26-23 win. Meanwhile, the Cowboys only came away with one field goal on three first half possessions deep in San Diego territory to cost them a 20-17 defeat. These teams last met in the 2006 season with the Saints crushing the Boys 42-17 behind a big five-touchdown day from Drew Brees.
The 8-5 Dallas Cowboys try to snap out of their December funk Saturday night when they take on the 13-0 New Orleans Saints in a Week 15 NFC showdown.
The Cowboys are faced with the challenge of defeating the NFL’s No. 1 ranked offense this week. This game is a big one for the Cowboys. While Romo has been playing extremely well with 7 touchdown passes and zero interceptions over his last three games, the Cowboys are just 1-2 in those contests. A big reason why they have lost back-to-back games is because the running game isn’t what it was earlier in the season. Perhaps, they’ll be able to get the running attack going against a New Orleans defense allowing 4.5 yards per rush this season.
Is this the week New Orleans finally runs out of lives? The Saints got another scare from division rival Atlanta in Week 14, but they were able to find a way to win yet again. Now they get a Dallas team in an extremely motivated spot. I already mentioned that Dallas needs to be able to run the football, and I think the same thing holds true for the Saints. The Saints boast the NFC’s second best running attack, gobbling up 138.9 yards per game on the ground this season. However, they have been held to an average of 75 yards rushing the last two weeks and got two major scares as a result. The Saints are clearly at their best when they bring a balanced offensive attack.
