‘Sunday Night Football’ 2014 live stream: How to watch Saints vs. Cowboys

Two of the league's most prolific quarterbacks meet in Arlington Sunday night for what promises to be a pass-happy affair. The 1-2 New Orleans Saints (1-2) can't afford to let another winnable game slide while the Dallas Cowboys (2-1) are off to a 2-1 start and look to keep pace with the NFC East-leading Philadelphia Eagles.

The Saints entered 2014 as a trendy Super Bowl pick, but faltered through their first two games due to their lackluster defense. While they performed well last week in a win over the Vikings, New Orleans has yet to win outside the Super Dome.

The Cowboys have run up the scoreboard behind a balanced offensive attack led by Tony Romo, DeMarco Murray, and Dez Bryant. While Romoballs and fumbles remains an issue, stopping Dallas' offense remains a difficult task for most teams.

Saints quarterback Drew Brees is off to a strong start, completing over 70% of his passes and averaging over 280 passing yards a game. However, Brees has turned the ball over at a higher rate than normal, tossing two interceptions and fumbling away another turnover. New Orleans' running game looks improved over a year ago, with rushers averaging 4.8 yards a carry, eighth best in the NFL. Unfortunately, lead back Mark Ingram will miss about a month with a broken hand.

The Cowboys' 2-1 start has as much to do with offensive coordinator Scott Linehan's conscious effort to keep his running backs in the game plan. Through three games, Dallas has attempted 89 passes against 92 planned runs, a near equal mix. The vast majority of the carries have gone to DeMarco Murray, who rushes at clip of 5.1 yards per carry. He's been involved in the passing game too, catching eight balls on eight targets for 61 yards.
