Dallas Cowboys 2024 opponent preview: 2 Saints to keep an eye on

The New Orleans Saints were a middling team in 2023. Finishing just over .500 and missing the playoffs, they showed shades of good, but not quite good enough. With internal drama centered around Michael Thomas, and up and down play of Derek Carr, the Saints look to turn the page this season and be more consistent.
