~STORY OF THE WEEK~
SILENCING THE SUPERDOME, DALLAS HANDS NEW ORLEANS FIRST 09 LOSS
COWBOYS KNOCK DOWN THE SAINTS SURGE
The Cajun-style jazz funeral made its anticipated Saturday night procession through the Louisiana Superdome. Only it was New Orleans’ perfect record and not the Dallas Cowboys' season that was being buried. A franchise whose playoff hopes were on life support proved its pulse still beats strong. In the process, the previously unbeaten Saints are flawless no more following a 24-17 home defeat. “Things weren’t going well for us with two losses,” Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said. “But I didn’t think this team could get beat three times in a row.” Phillips is among the few who believed that. A seven-point favorite, New Orleans (13-1) was expected to continue its march toward the NFC’s top playoff seed while sending Dallas (9-5) deeper into what was becoming yet another December swoon. “We don’t normally go into a game thinking we have no chance, but a lot of people were,” said Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who helped fuel the upset with 312 passing yards and one touchdown. “I can understand it from the situation where they’re at and how we’ve been playing lately.” (FOX Sports)
