I have no particular hatred for the Cowboys (unlike many on here).

The Cowboys used to whip up on the Saints when they (Cowboys) were good. That's what good teams are supposed to do. The Saints have now turned that around and have won the last 4 (or 5) between the teams.

I do recall one game in Dallas when Bum Phillips was coaching the Saints, and Kenny Stabler was our QB. The Saints led 20-13 with about 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter; and were in field goal position. Morten Andersen came in to attempt the field goal, which was blocked by Dallas, and run back for a TD. 20-19 Saints, pending the PAT. But the PAT was blcoked; still 20-19 Saints. Dallas kicks off to the Saints, who could not move, and had to punt back to Dallas. Danny White (Dallas QB) moves the Cowboys all the way down the field, inside the Saints 10, then throws a third down pass into the end zone, which is intercepted by Saints LB Dirt Winston. Instead of taking a knee, Winston runs it out, and is tackled at the 2. Next offensive play, Kenny Stabler is tackled in the end zone for a safety, 21-20 Dallas. which is the final score. It is the only time in NFL history a team leading by one point, loses by one point due to a safety.

I didn't hate the Cowboys for that because, frankly, it was the Saints fault.
