The Dallas Cowboys faced a difficult home opener against the New Orleans Saints, suffering a significant 44-19 loss. The Saints scored touchdowns on their first six drives, with Alvin Kamara dominating the field with a total of 180 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns.

Cowboys' defense struggled, allowing Kamara to run freely, leading to critical post-game reflections from players. Micah Parsons highlighted the need for improved tackling and defensive performance. Meanwhile, Dak Prescott noted the challenges in connecting with CeeDee Lamb, while others emphasized the importance of tight end Jake Ferguson.

The Cowboys' rushing game has also been underwhelming, raising questions about their running back situation as they seek more offensive balance.
