The no-name Dallas Cowboys defense come up big Sunday night against Drew Brees and his running game. Tony Romo, walk-on from Eastern Illinoise, took a breather from his game-day heroics and handed off the ball a record 40 times to DeMarco Murray who roared for 160 yards against Rob Ryans anemic defense. In the end, the score was 48-20.
Recap: Cowboys scored on all but 4 of their offensive possessions. Saints offense largely buckled against a surprisingly strong defense. Ryan's defense was inept against the 'Boys.
