Cowboys show spunk in 1st loss under Garrett
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -Seeing his defense shredded easily and his offense flub a screen and a shotgun snap - all before the first quarter even finished - Jerry Jones had to be wondering what happened to all the improvements interim coach Jason Garrett had brought to the Dallas Cowboys.
Then came the second half and evidence of the new life Garrett has pumped into the club.
The offense started making big plays and little ones, piling up points on nearly every drive. The defense helped by slowing Drew Brees and getting the ball back without giving up many more points. The special teams provided everything from a long field goal to a forced fumble to a bizarre drop-kicked punt. All told, a pair of 17-point deficits became a fourth-quarter lead.
