NFL Winners and Losers: Cowboys crushed at home by Saints, and here comes the panic

Someone must have told the Dallas Cowboys that Sunday was a playoff game.

Usually the Cowboys are good in the regular season and disappointing in the playoffs. That's why their Week 2 no-show against the New Orleans Saints was shocking. Dallas was favored and gave up 35 points before halftime, tying a team record for most points allowed in the first half.

The Saints have looked quite good on offense through two weeks, though the first game came against the inept Carolina Panthers. Nobody assumed, after the Cowboys blasted the Cleveland Browns last week, that the Saints would go up and down the field on them.
