THE MATCHUP: SAINTS VS COWBOYS 2021 WEEK 13
After a 31-6 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Thanksgiving night, the New Orleans Saints (5-6), remain at home for the second straight week, returning to play against teams in the rugged NFC East and host the Dallas Cowboys (7-4) on Thursday Night Football at the Caesars Superdome. The Saints have lost four consecutive games and a victory is essential this week to climb back to .500 and remain in the hunt for a playoff berth.
Dallas leads the all-time series 17-13, but New Orleans has won nine of the last 13 meetings dating back to the 1998 season. Also given the attractiveness of the matchup, since Sean Payton, a former member of the Cowboys coaching staff under Pro Football Hall of Fame coach Bill Parcells, arrived in New Orleans in 2006, eight of the nine meetings have been played in prime time or before a nationally televised audience. Payton has posted a 5-3 record against his former team, the most recent meeting being a 12-10 home win on Sunday Night Football on September 29, 2019, when New Orleans won their first contest since the 1998 season without scoring a touchdown, backed by an efficient run game, stingy defense and four field goals.
Both teams will be looking to reverse a trend in the wrong direction on Sunday night. The Saints will be looking to break their first four-game losing streak since the start of the 2015 season. That skid was broken by a 26-20 win over Dallas on Sunday Night Football in the Superdome. The 7-4 Cowboys have a two-game lead over Philadelphia in the NFC East, but have dropped three of their past four games in losing ground in the race for the top seed in the conference.
SAINTS-COWBOYS SERIES HISTORY

THE LAST MEETING
Saints 12, Dallas Cowboys 10; September 29, 2019 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – The Saints won their second consecutive game, defeating Dallas at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in a contest dominated by defense and special teams. It marked the first time New Orleans won a game without scoring a touchdown since an Oct. 25, 1998 9-3 victory over Tampa Bay.
Dallas jumped out to a 3-0 lead compliments of a 28-yard field goal by K Brett Maher. New Orleans started pushing back when WR/RS Deonte Harty returned a kickoff 29 yards in a drive that spanned the first and second quarters and went nine plays and 52 yards, K Wil Lutz drilled a 40-yard field goal. New Orleans then forced a quick three-and-out, Harris returned the punt to the Saints 49 and Lutz hit a 42-yard field goal to give New Orleans the edge.

Between the third and fourth quarters, QB Teddy Bridgewater drove the offense 67 yards in 15 plays on a drive that lasted 9:06 and Lutz drilled a 26-yard field goal for the lead. New Orleans held on for the win with DT David Onyemata dropping Prescott for a 11-yard loss and S Marcus Williams picking him off on the final play of the contest to seal the victory.
Bridgewater threw for 193 yards and WR Michael Thomas had nine receptions for 95 yards to move into a tie for the NFL receiving lead with 34 grabs and tied Odel Beckham Jr. by reaching 350 career catches in the fewest games in NFL history (52 games). Defensively, Vonn Bell led the team with ten tackles.

DALLAS COWBOYS WEEK 12 RECAP
From DallasCowboys.com
With the Dallas Cowboys' 36-33 overtime loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in the 54th edition of the annual Thanksgiving game, three of the team's four defeats this year have now come against that particular division.
And not that a loss should be blamed on the officials, but Shawn Hochuli's crew took center stage in much of this one. They came into the game having called the fourth-most penalties in the NFL while the Cowboys entered the day as the most penalized team in the league. The trends continued as the officials tossed a combined 28 flags for a staggering 276 yards, both teams having reason to complain on some questionable calls.
Still, despite their frustrations, Dak Prescott led his troops on a valiant comeback in the fourth quarter, twice tying the score to send the game into extra time. The quarterback threw for 375 yards and two touchdowns for a 106.3 passer rating. Both Michael Gallup (106) and Cedrick Wilson (104) topped 100 receiving yards with six players catching at least three passes.
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS WEEK 12 RECAP
On the night that legendary New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees said goodbye to Saints fans, the New Orleans offense had one of its least effective games as the Buffalo Bills cruised to a 31-6 victory on Thanksgiving night at the Caesars Superdome.
Quarterback Trevor Siemian, making his fourth start in place of an injured Jameis Winston, couldn't get anything working early as the Saints lost their fourth consecutive game to drop to 5-6. New Orleans had 64 yards of offense at halftime and just 190 for the game. The Saints didn't get on the scoreboard until 14:54 remained when Siemian hit tight end Nick Vannett with an 11-yard touchdown pass.

The New Orleans offense was decimated by injuries. The Saints played without their two top running backs (Alvin Kamara, Mark Ingram II), their starting quarterback (Winston), their star receiver (Michael Thomas), their All-Pro right tackle (Ryan Ramczyk), their Pro Bowl left guard (Andrus Peat) and their top tight end (Adam Trautman). Taysom Hill was the team's backup quarterback and took no snaps.
The defense was missing three of its top four defensive ends but held tough through a 10-0 first half, coming up with two interceptions (Bradley Roby & Kwon Alexander) and two sacks ( Carl Granderson and Kaden Elliss). But Bills quarterback Josh Allen and his offense eventually broke the game open in the second half, scoring on a 5-yard pass to Stefon Diggs, a 24-yard pass to Dawson Knox, his second touchdown of the game, and a 23-yard pass to Matt Breida.
Week 13 In the NFC South
The Atlanta Falcons travel to Raymond James Stadium to play at the division-leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers at noon on Sunday and the Carolina Panthers have a Week 13 bye.
