New Orleans falls to 5-7, while the Cowboys improve to 8-4 on the season.īelow is a live quarter-by-quarter description of how the game unfolded:Ĭowboys win the toss and defer to the second half and Saints take over at their 25-yard line. Not content with three interceptions in the game, Hill would throw his fourth pick of the game to defensive tackle Carlos Watkins, giving Dallas a 27-10 lead with less than three minutes left in the game.ĭeonte Harris would catch a garbage time 70-yard touchdown to put a little bit of perfume on the stench of the loss, the Saints’ fifth in a row. A second interception by Trevon Diggs on New Orleans’ subsequent drive would basically finish the game, with New Orleans out of timeouts. However, the pick would be followed by an interception of Taysom Hill by Cowboys safety Damontae Kazee on a tipped pass. The Saints’ defense would give the offense more chances to get back in the game, with an interception of Dak Prescott by Marshon Lattimore. New Orleans would narrow the lead to 13-10 midway through the third quarter.ĭespite playing well, the Saints’ defense would allow a 58-yard rushing touchdown, the longest rushing play allowed by New Orleans all season, giving Dallas a 20-10 lead going into the fourth quarter. In the second half, the Saints started using Taysom Hill’s legs a bit more, gashing the Cowboys for big runs, but being let down by Hill’s inaccuracy as a passer. Dallas would find the end zone once in the half, and add two field goals for 13-7 halftime lead. The Saints’ offense looked a little better with Taysom Hill at the helm, scoring one touchdown, but also throwing an interception that was more an incredible play by the Cowboys’ defender than it was a bad throw by Hill. Incredibly, in the Sean Payton era, New Orleans had never lost five consecutive games and this 2021 team was trying not to hold that dubious record. The New Orleans Saints came into their Thursday Night Football contest against the Dallas Cowboys with the desperation of a team that had lost four games in a row.
