5 plays that led to Cowboys getting blown out by Saints

The Cowboys got a healthy helping of humble pie in Week 2 in the form of a 44-19 beatdown from the Saints in AT&T Stadium. The defense, which looked so good a week ago, was unable to get a stop until the start of the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, the offense was much improved from a week ago, but they struggled to convert in the red zone.

It takes a lot of things going wrong for a beatdown like this, but these five plays were huge in getting distance between the Cowboys and Saints. Also, all of these plays occurred in the first half, as the Saints had this one locked up before halftime had even begun.
