It was another happy Sunday for the Saints, who picked up a very decisive win over the Cowboys in Week 2. No one expected New Orleans to score 40 or more points and completely dominate Dallas in their own stadium. While it was a big announcement and produced great results, head coach Dennis Allen said the team’s focus is on improving and getting better, not patting themselves on the back. Here’s a closer look at the offensive snap counts from Sunday’s 44-19 win.
Saints triumph over Cowboys: A sign of future greatness?
The Saints offense finished the game with 24 first downs, gained 432 total yards (242 passing, 190 rushing), and was 5/8 (63%) on 3rd down. They averaged 7.7 yards/play and won the time of possession battle 30-31-29-29. New Orleans also went 4/5 (80%) in the red zone. There was another 1-yard sack on the play, but the line took Micah Parson and the Dallas pass rushers out of the game. Anytime you can do that? It’s a great day.
