igh-powered New Orleans Saints offense carried the Cowboys to an impressive 13-10 victory on Thursday night to keep Dallas firmly atop the NFC East.After Dak Prescott was stripped on a sack with 2:35 left to play to give New Orleans a chance to steal a victory http://www.cowboyscheapauthenticstore.com/chris-jones-jersey-cheap , Jourdan Lewis intercepted Drew Brees as he took pressure from Maliek Collins to all but end the Saints chances. A defensive pass interference call in the end zone on Marshon Lattimore two plays later officially sealed the deal.The Cowboys defense clamped down the Saints attack, allowing just 176 total yards as Brees, Alvin Kamara, Michael Thomas and company were kept hemmed in all night long. It was the lowest scoring output of the season for New Orleans. Their previous season low had been in a 21-18 victory over the Cleveland Browns in Week Two. Additionally, it was the first time 2013 against the Seattle Seahawks that the Saints had been held under 200 yards of offense and the first time since 2002 against the San Francisco 49ers that they were held under 180 yards of offense.The Cowboys survived two big mistakes from Randy Gregory that helped keep the Saints in the game. A roughing the punter call on a hit of Thomas Morstead on a fourth-and-3 with two minutes left in the third quarter give the Saints a fresh set of downs. Three plays later, Brees hit Keith Kirkwood for a 30-yard touchdown to close the gap to 13-10.Then with just over 12 minutes left to play, Gregory was called for a neutral zone infraction on a play where DeMarcus Lawrence forced a fumble with a sack of Breed that was recovered by Tyrone Crawford.But Dallas’ defense kept causing problems for the Saints attack. Meanwhile, Dak Prescott carried the Cowboys offensive as the Saints did a decent job themselves of keeping Ezekiel Elliott from breaking out in the ground game.Prescott completed 24 of 28 for 248 yards and a 16-yard touchdown pass to Elliott, who caught six passes for 60 yards and the touchdown. Elliott was held to 76 yards on 23 carries.Dallas had full control of the game in the first quarter and carried the advantage through the remainder of the game. New Orleans was held to three-and-outs on each of their first two possession and had to punt on each of their first three drives. Brees was held to just 39 passing yards in the first half and 127 yards overall.Brett Maher converted field goals from 26 and 46 yards with Elliott’s touchdown sandwiched between as Dallas took a 13-0 advantage into halftime. It was the first time New Orleans had been shut out at halftime since the Cowboys did so in 2014 in a 38-17 win over the Saints.Will Lutz converted a 33-yard field goal in the third quarter and Kirkwood’s touchdown late in the quarter pulled the Saints within a field goal, but New Orleans was unable to finish off the rally despite some clear opportunities to do so.The Cowboys now hold a half-game lead over the Washington Redskins in the NFC East with a the Philadelphia Eagles a game-and-a-half back. The Cowboys and Eagles play a week from Sunday in Dallas.The Los Angeles Rams can now take the conference lead in the race for the No. 1 seed with a win in Detroit on Sunday. The Saints hold the tiebreaker with the Rams due to their 45-35 win over Los Angeles earlier this month, but the Rams still have only the loss to the Saints on their resume while the Saints are now 10-2. After joining the New York Giants as a late-season addition, veteran offensive lineman John Greco came to training camp as somewhat of a bubble guy on the roster.Both a guard and center, the 33-year-old seemed to be the odd guy out at both spots.Jon Halapio and Brett Jones were the top centers, and rookie Will Hernandez and free-agent signee Patrick Omaneh were the top two guards. Greco and long-time starter John Jerry were fighting for a roster spot.Funny thing happened. New York traded Jones to Minnesota in training camp and Greco beat out Jerry because of his ability to play center and guard.Two-plus weeks into the season, Greco is now a starter. The 11-year veteran is getting an unexpected chance because Halapio broke his right leg and ankle in the third quarter of the 20-13 loss to the Cowboys."Any time you lose your partner in crime, one of your buddies in your room Cheap Sean Lee Jersey , you feel for him," Greco said Wednesday as the Giants (0-2) practiced for Sunday's game in Houston against the Texans (0-2)."We know that he's going to come back stronger than ever, but at the same time we just have to do everything we can this week to try to get a win. It's going to be a tough road game, awesome atmosphere down in Houston, so we are excited about the challenge and opportunity."Greco is on his third tour with coach Pat Shurmur. The two also worked for the Rams, and Greco also was in Cleveland when Shurmur coached the Browns.Greco joins an offensive line that has struggled. New York is ranked in the bottom five on offense in yards per game, total yards passing, total yards running, first downs, points and passing average. The line has allowed eight sacks, including six by the Cowboys on Sunday night."We just have to focus everything on in-house," Greco said. "We don't really listen to the talk outside, we know we have to play better and that's the focus every week. When we get some wins it's going to be the same thing. There's going to be no let-up, and that's how you've got to approach it."You can't be complacent and when you know things aren't going your way you just have to do everything extra, and do everything in your power to be the cause of the wins and not the cause of losses."Quarterback Eli Manning spoke with Greco this week and does not expect a problem making the transition."He's been here all training camp," Manning said. "We've worked together Youth Joe Looney Jersey , we've gotten snaps throughout training camp and everything so that shouldn't be a problem. He knows what's going on. We've met this week, we've talked a bunch on some calls, making sure we're saying the same thing and hearing things the same way."The bigger problem will be getting the offense in gear. Manning did not have enough time to throw and there were not many holes for rookie running back Saquon Barkley against Dallas."I think we're close on things," Manning said. "You're going against good players and they're going to make plays sometimes and that's fine, but when there are opportunities and when things should be picked up or guys should be going certain ways, you got to do those things and give yourself an opportunity to make those plays when they can be there."Greco is looking forward to helping the offense. A year ago, he was sitting home waiting for someone to sign him."I knew I still had enough gas in the tank that I could've been playing and I was just happy I got the opportunity here last year and then again this offseason, and here we are," he said. "So, that really hasn't entered my mind. It's more of a laugh thing I can do at myself but yeah, I'm excited about the opportunity."NOTES: LB Olivier Vernon (ankle), CB Eli Apple (hamstring) and LB Connor Barwin (knee) did not practice.
