Dallas Cowboys (8-5) vs New Orleans Saints (13-0) Preview
The NFC’s two best offenses will square off as Tony Romo and the Cowboys meet Dre Bress and the Saints. Saints pursuit of perfection continues. Will Dallas succeed in handling the team
The Saints look to move closer to clinching the NFC’s top seed Saturday night when they host the Cowboys, who are again struggling in December.
New Orleans (13-0) set a franchise record for wins and clinched a first-round bye with a 26-23 victory over Atlanta on Sunday. For the second week in a row, though, its perfect record was in jeopardy late.
The victory came one week after New Orleans defeated Washington 33-30 in overtime after trailing by a touchdown with less than 2 minutes to play.
Next up for New Orleans is a Dallas team desperately in need of a victory. The Cowboys (8-5) entered December with six wins in seven games, but in an all-too-familiar scene, opened the month with back-to-back losses.
Dallas dropped a game behind the first-place Eagles in the NFC East with a 20-17 loss to San Diego on Sunday. Despite falling off the pace, the Cowboys would win the division title with a 3-0 finish, as they host Philadelphia in their finale.
The two last met in Week 14 of 2006 Season wherein Drew Brees passed for 348 yards and five touchdowns as the Saints rocked the Cowboys, 42-17, in Week 14 of the 2006 season. Last week in NFL Week 14, a late comeback attempt by the Broncos was repelled by the Colts as Denver lost, 28-16 while the Jaguars’ offense was held in check during a 14-10 loss to the Dolphins.
So, let’s all wait and watch Cowboys vs Saints live, Saturday night.

Game Recap
Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints are marching toward perfection no more. Tony Romo and DeMarcus Ware helped Dallas end its December doldrums and the Cowboys held off a frenzied rally by the Saints for a 24-17 victory Saturday night.
The loss by the Saints (13-1) left the Indianapolis Colts (14-0) as the NFL’s only unbeaten team this season.
The high-powered Saints trailed 24-3 going into the fourth quarter, then scored two fast touchdowns. After Dallas kicker Nick Folk watched his 24-yard field goal try clang off the right upright shortly before the 2-minute warning, Brees got a final chance to tie it.
Brees quickly moved the Saints into Dallas territory. But on second down, Ware sacked Brees and forced a fumble that was recovered by the Cowboys with 6 seconds left.
Romo passed for 312 yards, including a 49-yard touchdown to Miles Austin. Ware returned from a neck injury that left his status in doubt and was part of a relentless Dallas pass rush that pressured Brees all night.
Marion Barber had two short touchdown runs for the Cowboys (9-5), who ended a two-game skid and proved they were good enough to beat the top team in the NFC in front of a charged-up, hostile crowd. (via Yahoo! Sports)
