Both teams have a ton to prove – a win on Sunday will go a long way in silencing some of the early season critics.
Saints
The Saints have been arguably the most disappointing team in the NFL so far – they got their first win last week in less-than-spectacular form. Mistakes have plagued this team so far – a lack of execution hasn’t helped either.

New Orleans has to be better on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball or risk falling two games below .500.
New Orleans got their best game of the season from Drew Brees last week – he was 27-for-35 for 293 yards and two touchdowns – a good sign for a QB that had been unflattering early on. The bad news is that New Orleans was shut down after the first quarter against Minnesota and scored just 20 points the entire game.
Still, with the weapons that the Saints possess, you have to think that a major breakout is imminent – it could come against a sketchy Cowboys defense.
The Saints defense has been poor this season – they averaged 495 yards against in the first two games before getting it together and surrendering 247 yards to the Vikings – although Minnesota is hardly an offensive juggernaut at this point of the season. Tony Romo, Dez Bryant and DeMarco Murray are a completely different type of challenge for Rob Ryan’s crew.

New Orleans has to hope that their performance last week was a sign of things to come – my thought is that the Saints will surrender their fair share of yards and points Sunday night.
Cowboys
How bout dem Boys? Off two straight wins including a huge come-from-behind 34-31 victory versus St. Louis, Dallas has a chance to make a real statement in the NFC. Tony Romo was able to shrug off a predictable mistake, DeMarco Murray was able to maintain his fine play and the defense actually came up with a game-changing interception in the win.
But – and that is a BIG BUT, the Cowboys surrendered 327 yards passing to Rams’ rookie QB Austin Davis – not good, and they made Jake Locker look pretty good in their win against the Titans.
Make no mistake about it, Dallas still has a terrible defense – one that could and maybe should cost them against better teams.
There is also the issue with an offense that is uber-prone to turnovers. Tony Romo has four interceptions on the year to go along with four TDs and DeMarco Murray has committed a fumble in each of his first three games. He has rushed for over 100 years in each of those games.

That said Dallas, when they put it all together is a very talented team – capable of scoring a ton of points on any given week. Like the Saints, Tony Romo and his offense are going to have to be the stars – neither defense isn’t likely to help the offense out.
