Saints come from behind to beat Cowboys

[tina88]

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints recovered from blowing a 17-point lead by marching 89 yards for a go

-ahead touchdown with 1:55 left, pulling out a 30-27 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday.
Dallas kicker David Buehler nearly tied it with a 59-yard field goal in the final half-minute. The kick had plenty of distance,

but it fluttered wide left. Saints coach Sean Payton appeared to try calling timeout as the ball was snapped, but the officials

didn't give it to him.
The Saints led 17-0 after three series and 20-3 just before halftime. But the Cowboys scored on four consecutive possessions to

get close, then went ahead 27-23 on Tashard Choice's short touchdown run with 5:51 left.
Dallas seemed headed to another score when wide receiver Roy Williams took a pass toward to end zone, only to have the ball

stripped by New Orleans' Malcolm Jenkins at the Saints' 11. That set up the winning rally.
The Cowboys (3-8) lost for the first time under interim coach Jason Garrett, who had been 2-0. The Saints (8-3), playing on the

holiday for the first time, won their fourth in a row and fifth in the last six games.
