Was it Worth "Waiting All Day for a Sunday Night?"
Saints vs. Cowboys
This definitely wasn't the Sunday Night Football outcome that everyone was hoping for. You could have almost not considered this as a no contest game. Although it is great if you are a Cowboys fan, but if you are just a regular fan, "waiting all day for a Sunday night." this is not the game you were waiting for.
The Cowboys walked away from this one with a 38-17 victory over the Saints. Tony Romo went 22/29 with 262 yards in the air and 3 touchdowns. Not only did the passing game work good for the Cowboys, but they were also dominant in the running game. With 190 yards, they were literally running over the Saints defense who just didn't show up today. They allowed Dallas to march down the field on almost every drive. Murray was the leading rusher for the Cowboys with 149 yards on 24 carries, which is an average of 6.2 yards per carry. Coming into this game, Murray was the leading rusher in the league and tonight he showed everyone why. So far this season, DeMarco Murray has 534 yards on 99 carries which calculated to an average of 5.4 yards per carry. He is well on his way to a 1,000+ yard season.
The Saints looked horrible during the game. Viewers were expecting them team to put up a good fight against the Cowboys, but the exact opposite occurred. It is almost as if the Saints team forgot to show up for the game. Drew Brees threw for 340 yards and he went 32/44 which equates to a completion percentage of 72.7%. He was able to throw for 2 touchdowns, but in the process, he also threw a pick. This wasn't the end of the Saints hardships during the game, they also had 2 fumbles, which they lost both. Their running game consisted of 104 yards on the ground, but only because of a 62 yard run by Robinson. If it weren't for this run, the Saints would have had only about 40 yards on the ground.

- Overall, the Saints didn't want the game to end this way and neither did Saints fans, but it was almost as if they brought in the high school team to play against the Cowboys. The Cowboys on the other hand were one of the best looking teams this week and are hoping to continue this trend into the future weeks, especially in the division games that are coming up in the next few weeks. This was the game that both the Cowboys and Cowboy fans were looking for as a boost for their season and for the Cowboys to be holding high heads going into next weeks game against the Houston Texans.

Sunday Football 1:00pm: The Results
The following are the results for the 1:00pm games:
Panthers vs. Ravens - The Ravens took this one 38-10. The Panthers looked weak in this game, they had trouble in both the passing game and the running game. The Ravens on the other hand over 300 yards in the air and over 100 yards on the ground. They looked healthy this week.
Packers vs. Bears - The Packers took this one 38-17. Arron Rodgers did amazing this week with over 300 yards in the air and 4 touchdown passes. As for their running game, it didn't look too great, but Lacy had a touchdown run. The Bears on the other hand had played a balanced game today. Cutler had 256 yards in the air today, but by throwing 2 interceptions, it blew the game for them today. They had an astonishing 265 yards on the ground, and it is surprising to see that they only got 17 points in this weeks game.
Bills vs. Texans - The Texans walked away from this one with a 23-17 victory over the Bills. Both of the teams did well in the air this game, but both Manuel and Fitzpatrick threw 2 interceptions in the game. The Bills also had about 100 yards on the ground where the Texans struggled with only 37 yards on the ground with Fitzpatrick leading the team in rushing yards. It seems as if Watt's pick-6 is what won the game for the Texans today.
Titans vs. Colts - The Colts were the clear leaders in this game with a 41-17 victory over the Titans. The Titans weren't even able to put up 200 yards in the air today, but they were able to put up about 100 yards on the ground today. Luck was arguably the best in this game with 4 touchdown passes and almost 400 yards in the air. He did throw an interception though. The Colts were also able to put up about 100 yards on the ground today, but Luck's amazing performance this week is what won it for the Colts.
Lions vs. Jets - The Lions were able to take this one with a 24-17 victory over the Jets. Stafford was able to put up just under 300 yards in the air today with 2 touchdown passes. The running game for them also went well this week because they were able to put up 88 yards. Calvin Johnson was barely a factor this week with only 2 catches for 12 yards. The Jets were only able to put up 209 yards in the air with 1 touchdown pass and 1 interception, both on the shoulders of Smith. They were able to put up 132 yards on the ground and one touchdown which Johnson was responsible for.
Dolphins vs. Raiders - The Dolphins were able to take this one with a 38-14 victory over the Raiders. This game was played in London today where Tannehill was able to throw for 278 yards in the air with 2 touchdown passes and only 1 interception. They were also able to put up 157 yards on the ground. They had 2 touchdowns in the running game both on the shoulders of Miller. The Raiders split the passing game between Carr and McGloin this week with Carr being able to put up 146 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception and McGloin had 129 yards in the air with 1 touchdown, but he threw 2 interceptions. The combination of these 3 interceptions really hurt the Raiders this week and ultimately helped them lose the game. In the running game they were only able to put up 53 yards.
Buccaneers vs. Steelers - This exciting game came down to the last seconds in which the Buccaneers were able to put together a winning drive to take it 27-24 over the Steelers.
