“Wasn’t pretty, but when they start making the space for pretty on the scoreboard, we’ll worry about that.” These were the words uttered by Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh after a narrow win over Rutgers earlier in the year, but it could very easily have been said about the Cowboys after a 27-17 win on Thursday night football.
Led by interim head coach Dan Quinn while Mike McCarthy and a handful of others sat out, Dallas played their third game in 12 days and certainly looked like it. They were sloppy at times, but did just enough to get the win over a slumping Saints team that’s now lost five in a row.
