This victory was a total team effort by the Cowboys. The stars made their plays but when your third string TE John Phllips is making great blocks early and great catches late it is a team win.
WR Olgetree came in and made the catch of the year on the sidelines which made you wnder hy Williams is still playing after he dropped that 3rd down catch which could have ended any comeback by the Saints.
