Cowboys score: How Saints blew out Dallas in second-worst home-opener loss in franchise history
The Cowboys had a home opener to forget against the Saints on Sunday.
Dallas and New Orleans were both coming off dominant wins in Week 1, heading to AT&T Stadium in a matchup between two teams with something to prove. The Cowboys handled the Browns on the road 33-17 to start the season 1-0, while the Saints destroyed the Panthers 47-10 to open the season with a loud statement.
New Orleans was in search of a validating win and it got that in a big way, marching into Dallas and coming out with a wire-to-wire 44-19 victory.
Quarterback Derek Carr is off to an immaculate start to the season, while running back Alvin Kamara threatened his own NFL single-game touchdown record in the win.
As a result, the Saints handed the Cowboys their second-worst loss in a home opener in franchise history.

The Cowboys' defense had no answer for the Saints' offense all game. New Orleans scored a touchdown on its first six drives — a streak that carried into the second half.
Kamara scored an easy five-yard touchdown to give the Saints a 7-0 lead, then Carr connected with Rashid Shaheed on a 70-yard bomb to open the floodgates.

Dallas showed its only sign of life for the day when CeeDee Lamb responded with a 65-yard touchdown but it was all Kamara and the Saints from there.
Kamara punched in another rushing touchdown, then Dak Prescott threw a costly interception in the final minutes of the first half to tee up another New Orleans score. Carr had a one-yard QB sneak with under a minute to go in the second quarter, giving the Saints a sizeable 35-16 lead at the half.
The Cowboys were held to another field goal on their drive to open the second half, missing an opportunity to mount a comeback. The Saints responded with a 13-play, 70-yard drive, capped off by a fourth touchdown from Kamara to put the game away early.
New Orleans held on for a 44-19 win behind four total touchdowns and 180 all-purpose yards from Kamara and 243 yards and two passing touchdowns from Carr.
Cowboys worst home losses in franchise history
The 25-point blowout marked the second-worst loss in Cowboys franchise history in a home opener.
You'd have to go back to 1963 to find Dallas' worst loss in a home opener, falling 34-7 to the St. Louis Cardinals.
Sunday's result wasn't close to the overall worst home loss in Cowboys franchise history, though. That lowlight belongs to the 1985 Cowboys, who were dismantled 44-0 by Walter Payton's Bears.
Rank | Opponent | Result | Point difference | Year |
1 | vs. Bears | L, 44-0 | 44 | 1985 |
2 | vs. Browns | L, 48-7 | 41 | 1960 |
3 | vs. Vikings | L, 43-3 | 40 | 1988 |
T-4 | vs. Colts | L, 45-7 | 38 | 1960 |
vs. Cardinals | L, 38-0 | 38 | 1970 |
