Saints defense delivers knockout, makes statement in 'heavyweight fight' with Cowboys

Welcome to Big D.

And the "D" stands for defense. Or Dennis Allen, the Saints' defensive coordinater who for the second year in a row held the Dallas Cowboys in check.

Except this time, he got a win to go with it and the Saints are sitting even prettier than anyone would have expected at the end of the first quarter of the season.

Remember how tough the first four games on the Saints' schedule looked when the NFL announced it back in April?

Season opener vs. Houston. Back-to-back games on the West coast, first at the Los Angeles Rams and then at the Seattle Seahawks. And then back home to play the Dallas Cowboys.

Having to play four playoff teams from a year ago to start the season seemed like a tough row to hoe.

You probably would have taken a 3-1 record, even with Drew Brees at quarterback, after the first four games of the season, right?

The Saints got there without him the past two weeks, beating the Dallas Cowboys 12-10 in a highly-anticipated slugfest on Sunday night at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

They beat up on some girls... I am sure the league will send them all fines for abuse.
