Cowboys End Saints' Unbeaten Streak

NEW ORLEANS (AP)—Tony Romo completed 22 of 34 passes for 312 yards and a touchdown and DeMarcus Ware overcame the effects of a sprained neck last week with a game-clinching sack of Drew Brees as the Dallas Cowboys upset the New Orleans Saints, 24-17 Saturday at the Louisiana Superdome. The win was significant for the Cowboys as it stopped a two-game losing streak and propelled them into the thick of the NFC playoff race as they’re currently alive for both the NFC East title and a possible wild card. Despite the Saints’ resiliency and never-say-die attitude, New Orleans proved to bite off more than they could chew after falling behind 24-3 in the 4th Quarter. The Saints did manage to pull to within 24-17 on Lance Moore’s 7-yard touchdown reception from Drew Brees (29 of 45, 298 yards, TD, INT) late in the game, but after getting lucky on a missed 26-yard field goal by Dallas’ Nick Folk, Ware forced Brees to fumble in the closing seconds to preserve the win for the Cowboys. Additionally, Miles Austin had seven receptions for 139 yards and a 49-yard touchdown catch for Dallas in the win which improved them to 9-5. Meanwhile, the Saints fell to 13-1 and could still lose home field advantage to the Minnesota Vikings if they fail to take care of business the next two weeks.
