Still cause for concern in Big D despite win over Saints

Dak Prescott wore a postgame smile, and you couldn’t blame the Dallas Cowboys quarterback for that. It’s not easy to win games in the National Football League — just ask the Detroit Lions.

So even a 27-17 slog over a New Orleans Saints team that boasted neither Alvin Kamara nor an actual quarterback still counts. The Cowboys’ record moved to 8-4. Mission accomplished.

“A win,” Prescott said, “is a win.”

These are the Cowboys though, a team of immense popularity and immense hype that spent the first two months of the season making its fans dream of a long-awaited Super Bowl.
