The Dallas Cowboys defense stepped up and had their best game of the season but it wasn’t enough as the offense crumbled and Dallas fell 12-10 to New Orleans. It was a shocking outcome, simply because all the things that had worked previously proved ineffective even while the questionable parts of the team stepped up. Let’s go to the grades.
Overall: C-
It’s really hard to understand what happened Sunday night. At no point did the Cowboys offense seem to have any idea how to attack the Saints defense. This despite the fact the Saints defense simply isn’t very good (evidenced by their 30th ranking in yards per play allowed).
