For the second consecutive week I’m being forced to consider a format change, because it’s going to be difficult to find basically anything to criticize in one of the most dominant Saints performances you’ll ever see.
New Orleans walked into AT&T Stadium, a building where the Cowboys had won 16 consecutive regular season games and won 44-19. The game wasn’t even as close as that score seems to indicate, with backup QBs finishing out things for the second time in as many weeks.
So, needless to say we’ll focus on the positive side of this equation a lot more than the negatives.
THREE UP
AK is still AK
Alvin Kamara … washed? Just ask Mike ZImmer how he feels about that idea.
On a day that gave some flashbacks to the Christmas day banger that saw Alvin Kamara plow in for an NFL record 6 touchdowns againts the Vikings (and then head coach Mike Zimmer), he was only a few play calls away from doing it again.
The amazing thing about Alvin is how effortless he makes everything look, and that’s been the case even when the Pete Carmichael offense of the past two years did him no favors. Alvin’s 57-yard catch-and-run touchdown on a screen gave flashbacks to the long score he had against the Packers in 2020. In that game it was Erik McCoy getting out to plow the road. This time it was Cesar Ruiz. In both instances Alvin never really looked like he got out of third gear.
