In what was the most-watched game in NFL history, the Dallas Cowboys cooked the Giants 28-20 on Thanksgiving Day. The Giants’ inability to stuff the running game of the Cowboys rushers Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard, the pair of runners’ consistency on the ground, rushing for 169 yards and two scores, helped carve out a role for Dak Prescott and his full menu of receivers and tight end Dalton Schultz. Prescott and Schultz scored midway through the second half and came back for seconds later in the game.

LSU loses to Texas A&M, ending possible playoff chances

In week 11, the Saints looked like they actually figured a few things out on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. After their win versus the Rams, the team apparently subjected themselves to a group amnesia session with the team seeking a way to forget what it looks like to be a winning football team as the game we all witnessed last week was a tale straight out of a horror story. The Saints have no identity on offense. Long gone are the days of Drew Brees lighting up the scoreboard with 300+ yard performances while the defense played inspired, tenacious football. This team is bad, and there really isn’t a remedy for what ails them in sight. This season is a lost one. Will we see Dennis Allen back as head coach? Is Alvin Kamara inching closer and closer past his prime? What will the Saints do at quarterback moving past 2022? These are all real questions Mickey Loomis will have to consider sooner rather than later.
