New Orleans is 1-2, but coming off its lone victory over the Minnesota Vikings after losing to the Atlanta Falcons and Cleveland Browns. The Saints have played well offensively for the most part, ranking fifth in passing and sixth in rushing yardage. Drew Brees has led the way as usual, throwing for 863 yards and five touchdowns, including two to Jimmy Graham.
Dallas is riding a two-game winning streak after faltering in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers. Last week, the Cowboys fell behind 21-0 on the road to the St. Louis Rams before roaring back to claim a wild 34-31 victory. DeMarco Murray has finally been used to his capabilities by head coach Jason Garrett, averaging 25 carries per game. He has rushed for 385 yards and scored three times.
