The Saints’ defense shuts down an explosive Cowboys offense to give the Black and Gold a 12-10 win in front of the home crowd.
Dallas was held to just 257 yards and one touchdown after coming into the game the league’s second most prolific offense. Coach Sean Payton is proud of the gritty performance.
Cut 13 (09) “areas”
Two time rushing leader Zeke Elliot was contained for just 35 yards on the night.
The Saints offense was crippled by repeated penalties on the offensive line, and QB Teddy Bridgewater just couldn’t crack the endzone. Payton says the self-inflicted wounds are unacceptable.
Cut 14 (11) “…overcome”
Bridgewater’s 193 yards through the air makes it two weeks in a row the formerly explosive passing game as failed to crack 200 yards.
