The New Orleans Saints came into their Thursday Night Football contest against the Dallas Cowboys with the desperation of a team that had lost four games in a row. Incredibly, in the Sean Payton era, New Orleans had never lost five consecutive games and this 2021 team was trying not to hold that dubious record.
The Saints’ offense looked a little better with Taysom Hill at the helm, scoring one touchdown, but also throwing an interception that was more an incredible play by the Cowboys’ defender than it was a bad throw by Hill.
