The Saints offense is on a bit of a roll in the first half, and moved quickly for a field goal just before halftime to take a 17-14 lead over the Cowboys.

The Saints have a ridiculous 317 yards at halftime, with Drew Brees throwing for 261 yards.

The Cowboys continue to exploit an impossible matchup with wide receiver Dez Bryant, who has five catches for 145 yards and two touchdowns at the break.
