The Saints set an NFL record for the most first downs in a game (40) and Drew Brees passed for 392 yards and four touchdowns in a 49-17 victory against the Dallas Cowboys in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The previous mark for the most first downs in a game was 39, which was tied three times prior to Sunday. Source: The Advocate SteveRobWhatever's Take: Brees completed 26 of 30 passes for 252 yards and three touchdowns in the first half. Mark Ingram had a huge game carrying the ball 14 times for 145 yards. He benefitted from the Saints abandoning the pass basically with a huge lead. This was a dominant win for the Saints.
That's not totally true...Kenny Stills for instance made an awesome adjustment to make the catch on the long TD. The Cowboys defense as a whole was just pretty pretty bad
that's true. the cowboys secondary 'sort of' had one of the saints receivers covered on one play. consider it a moral victory for the cowboys. :newlaugh:
