The Cowboys halted the Saints’ 10-game winning run with a surprise 13-10 on TNF.
Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints came unstuck in Dallas as the Cowboys pulled off one of the upsets of the season with a dominant defensive performance.
Dallas won a tightly-contested game 13-10 on Thursday night, clinching a fourth consecutive win for the first time since 2016 and moving to 7-5, momentarily claiming top spot in the NFC East.
The Cowboys are now allowing 18.6 points per game, the second-best defense in the NFL behind the Baltimore Ravens, who concede an average of 18 points per outing.
By contrast, the Saints’ 10-game winning streak came to an end after they were limited to just 176 total yards, the fewest they have recorded in a game since Week 17 of the 2001 season. To put things into context, Thursday night was the first time since 2013 that the Saints were held under 200 total yards and the first time since a game against the San Francisco 49ers in 2002 that they had compiled less than 180 yards.
